CHARLOTTE — A water main break on Montford Drive in south Charlotte Friday is causing water to shoot several feet into the air.
“One of my co workers looked out and said hey, the street is leaking,” witness Mark Gean said. “So we see all this water coming down. And next thing you know a blast of water starts shooting in the air and I’m like oh my god what’s going on?”
[ Repairs complete 4 months after water main break impacted half of Charlotte ]
A contractor working in the area accidentally damaged a water main near the intersection, an official with Charlotte Water told Channel 9.
A crew worked to repair the pipe for hours. It was fixed around 5 p.m.
