Water main break in Norwood Park Township sends geyser of water into sky
A massive water main break has sent a geyser of water shooting into the sky in northwest suburban Northwood Park Township.
CBS SkyWatch was over the scene at the intersection of Bryn Mawr and Cortland in what appears to be a fairly residential area.
A water main break will typically call for a boil order for homes in the immediate area. There was a small barricade at the site of the break which may indicate that some work was being done at the time of the rupture.
CBS News Chicago has reached out to Norwood Park Township and county officials to try to find out what caused the break, how large of an area is affected, when they expect o to have it repaired and any repercussions that may impact the neighborhood.
