SUMMARY: A significant water main break occurred in north Houston near Washington Avenue and Yale Street, shutting down the street in both directions. City crews are working to repair the rupture, reportedly caused by a contractor for a telecommunications company hitting the water line. Surrounding businesses and homes experienced flooding, and it remains unclear how long the flooding has persisted. While traffic in the area is heavily impacted, drivers are advised to use alternate routes. Houston is facing critical water line issues, with the city losing billions of gallons annually due to aging infrastructure and minimal maintenance over the past decade.
