"[You had> four plus different trades working literally on top of each other and no one from the board of public service or anybody from the city managing these people to make sure they don't step on each other's work and damage it, because that's what they did," Sommers told KMOX. "They compromised a 12 inch gas main, they compromised the sewer, then sewer came back and fixed it, which then broke the brand new water pipe."

Curt Skouby, St. Louis's Director of Public Utilities, tells KMOX repairs are ongoing and should be finished by this weekend.

On July 25, 2019, in nearly the same spot, water was flooding across the street due to a water main break. A large hole opened up on the street and the surrounding area looked as if an earthquake struck, as it is rippled with some water flowing out of the cracks.
