The first break occurred around 1 p.m. at the intersection of Glensville and Riversville Roads.
Service was disrupted to 200 properties (businesses and residences) while the broken section of the 12" main was isolated.
At 2:45 p.m. water was restored to the majority of residents.
However, as water was directed from a larger main to the customers, a second break occurred in the original main.
Some 50 properties are without water, including 4 businesses.
The force of water when the break occurred washed out the intersection.
The intersection is shut down and police are detouring traffic away from it.
Crew will be working through the night so the intersection can reopen by the morning rush hour.
Fortunately, none of the property owners near the intersection have reported damage.
