Updated: Crews Work to Restore Water Main Break

Updated: September 14; 12:30 p.m.

Center Street in Old Town between Main and Zebedee streets was closed for a second day Wednesday after crews working to repair a water main break hit a gas line.

The stretch of Center Street was set to be closed Wednesday so crews could repave a portion of the road where a water main break occurred early Tuesday morning.

During the repairs, a gas line was impacted and Columbia Gas was called to make repairs to the service line. One customer—a household— in the area was impacted.

The road is set to reopen by 5 p.m. Wednesday once the paving is completed.

Update: September 13; 10:30 a.m.

The break occurred at approximately 2:30 a.m. Water Department crews have been on site and are in the progress of completing repairs.  Estimated time of completion is 10:30 a.m., according to a press release sent out by the city's Public Works Department.

Center Street will remain closed between Main and Zebedee with traffic detoured onto Grant Avenue from Center until approximately 1:30 p.m. Thursday to allow for roadway repairs.

Water services have been restored to most residences except City Hall, Manassas Ice & Fuel and a few residences on Zebedee Street. One business sustained some water damage, according to officials.
