A water main break is no longer gushing, but neighbors say flooding is nothing new. Here's what we know about the latest move to fix the city's aging pipes.People who live in the Greenway Plaza area of southwest Houston hope to have their water service restored after a break sent water gushing onto the road Thursday night.
"Houston Water is replacing several feet of pipe. This is a very extensive process. We're estimating two more hours for repairs. We apologize for the inconvenience," said Houston Public Works in a tweet shortly before 9 a.m. This issue? Public works said it was a 16-inch water main break that appeared to have burst from age."Honestly, we deal with the water situation here quite often because our pipes are old anyways. So this is not anything out of the ordinary for our complex," one resident said.
