Water main breaks on 35th Avenue and Van Buren

PHOENIX - A water main broke on 35th Avenue and Van Buren on Sept. 5.

City officials say it's a 12-inch main break, and the cast-iron pipe that broke was built in 1954.

Only one household is without water, but the intersection remains closed as city workers fix the break.

Officials are advising residents to avoid the area.

"Breaks such as this remind of us of the need to invest in infrastructure and to ensure our water supply.," city officials said in a statement.
