Water courses from beneath the sidewalk down Grand Ave on Sept. 24, 2026
A water main break in the area of Grand Avenue and Fairview Avenue on Thursday afternoon around 4 p.m. caused traffic diversions before crews were able to get on scene for repairs. Crews worked in the area late into the evening.
The Exedra has reached out to the city to learn more about the incident.
