The rush of water also washed debris into the streets adding to the problems. Water had to be turned off in the area to repair the break. Throughout the day on Wednesday, crews worked diligently to resolve the situation. By late Wednesday afternoon, crews had cleared areas of Academy Street and reopened it to traffic in both directions.
