ST. GEORGE — When Jessica White saw the fountain of muddy water breaking through the pavement in front of her house, she said her first thought was, "Oh, it's happening again."
A city water line had burst in front of the White home for the second time in less than two years, and in almost the exact spot as the previous break. The latest main break, which was reported around 6:10 p.m on Tuesday, brought responders from the St. George Fire Department and St. George City as well as good Samaritans from the neighborhood.
Firefighters closed off a section of 300 South between 300 West and Bluff Street, and city workers rushed to shut off water supplying the pipe. David Cordero, communications director for the city of St. George, said the shut-off affected five city blocks and was expected to last four-five hours.
"We appreciate everyone's understanding and patience as we work to get this fixed," Cordero said.
