NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A fourth main break in the city caused major flooding in Lower Manhattan, Monday evening.
"People’s cars are underwater and they don’t even know," Tomara Thomas told CBS2.
A 30-inch main broke caused the mess for blocks, the city said.The Department of Environmental Protection had a hard time closing one of the pipe’s valves, allowing the water to overflow for hours."There’s a construction site right under South Street, under the underpass to the FDR drive, and it made it difficult for us to get to that valve," DEP Commissioner Vincent Sapienza said.
