City crews spend most of the day dealing with water main break on Evans Street

By Howard B. Owens

City crews are just about wrapping up repair work on a water main break on Evans Street that has left only a few area residents without water since about 11:30 a.m.

The break occurred, according to Matt Worth, superintendent of water and sewer, while Batavia firefighters were doing some training involving a nearby fire hydrant.

The water outage was from Evans up to a portion of Maple Street.

Worth said the broken line is about 80 years old.

UPDATE As of about 6:30 p.m., the break was fixed and residents in the area should have normal water pressure restored, according to Worth.
