DeKalb Watershed and Public Works says at least 40 homes don’t have water as crews work on the repairs. Service is expected to be restored within the next few hours.
Channel 2′s Steve Gehlbach spoke with neighbors who woke up to see flashing lights, but came out to see water bubbling up from the asphalt.
“Go out and see water going down the street and so it’s the same watermain break over and over and over again,” neighbor Jim Dymek said.
Dymek told Gehlbach that it isn’t the first water main break his neighborhood has experienced within the past two to three years.
“How many times does the county have to fix it to fix it properly?” he asked.
