Recap of Water Main Line
Here’s an update from this morning’s incident at the construction site at Fourth and Bryant streets. A water main line broke at Fourth and Bryant streets sending a geyser of water shooting 30 feet up in the air.
As of 2:15pm, repairs on the water main line have been completed and water service is back on.
At approximately 9:00am while Synergy was working to remove asphalt at the corner of Fourth and Bryant streets to relocate underground utilities, a 2ft x 2ft piece of concrete slipped through the jaws of a backhoe and landed on top of a water main line causing a 1 foot wide hole in the pipe. As a result, the water on Fourth Street between Bryant and Brannan streets had to be shut off in order to repair the broken pipe.
Thanks to the SFPUC, SFPD, CHP, SFFD and DPW for assisting with the situation and controlling traffic flow.
