AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Water pressure around 34th and Bowie is now back to normal, but Saturday's water main break has caused a street closure.
By late Sunday afternoon the City of Amarillo Utility Division responded and completed immediate repairs to approximately 12 feet of pipe. Other utilities such as telephone lines were also affected. The water system is now back to normal operation.
City officials say the break happened Saturday causing 2.5 million gallons of water to spill. The erosion caused by the main break undermined the road damaging the entire width of 34th Avenue. Repairs are ongoing. 34th Avenue will remain closed throughout the week to complete repairs to the road and telephone lines.
