Water main break causes damage that could take days to clean up in Greensboro

It could be a few days before everything is cleaned up and back to normal.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — The 500 block of McGee Street is closed between South Eugene Street to South Spring Street due to a 12-inch and a 6-inch water main break.

There are a few customers without water and the breaks have caused significant roadway damage and some damage to nearby parking lots.

Water main repair work is expected to take place through the day and water should be restored by 5 p.m.

Roads and some parking lot repair work could continue into the next couple of days. 

Signs and traffic cones are in place and drivers should use alternate routes to avoid the area. 

Dates and times may change due to weather or last-minute changes in the work schedule. 

For water and sewer emergencies, 24-hour contact area, water main breaks, sewer stoppages, taste, odor, and discolored drinking water, and hydrant flushing, call 336-373-2033.
