Beltline road flooded by water main break

14 Avenue SW - water main break
A section of 14 Avenue S.W., just west of Centre Street, was underwater Tuesday evening following a water main break
An early evening water main break caused by electrical company workers flooded a section of 14 Avenue Southwest on Tuesday.
Emergency crews were called to a location near the intersection of 14 Ave and Centre Street South at approximately 7:00 p.m. after the burst pipe was reported and encountered water nearly 30 centimetres (a foot) deep.

City of Calgary water works employees halted the flow of water to prevent additional pooling but the water main will require additional repairs. According to Calgary Fire Department officials, the break was caused by an electrical company working on the site.
