SUMMARY: In Ocean Springs, the mysterious water leak at Advanced Auto Parts has been explained. Initially thought to be caused by a ruptured natural spring, the city revealed it was actually due to an old water line from the building’s original design that was never capped. This line was separate from the current one, which is why water continued flowing even when the city shut it off. The store is not being demolished; rather, it will be gutted and have its floor redone. Meanwhile, Advanced Auto Parts plans to close over 700 stores, but it’s unclear if this location will be affected.
