By noon Friday, the once bone-dry fire hydrants on Hunt Avenue began flowing with water again. <\/p>\n
A water main break left Van Nest neighbors without water overnight. <\/p>\n
Department of Environmental Protection crews said they we’re having trouble finding the leak Thursday with record-breaking rain getting in the way. Field operators we’re able to locate the leak on Friday morning, after closing off the entire street and excavating with dump trucks. <\/p>\n
The massive scene caused damage, even two blocks down from where Maree Singh lives. When she called to find out what happened, 311 couldn’t tell her why.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey had no clue about it,” she said.<\/p>\n
It’s unclear when the road will reopen, but for now it remains closed as crews begin to fill in the massive hole. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By noon Friday, the once bone-dry fire hydrants on Hunt Avenue began flowing with water again.
