Crews Repairing Water Main Break In Walnut Creek

Contra Costa Water District crews are working this morning to repair a water main break in Walnut Creek, a district spokeswoman said.

The break to the 12-inch water main was reported between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. Monday in the area of North Main Street near Geary Road, district spokeswoman Jennifer Allen said.

As of around 10 a.m., Allen said no customers were out of water but she said up to 15 businesses and an apartment complex in the area could be affected when crews shut off water to the main.

Crews this morning were working to excavate the pipe, she said.

There is no time estimate for when the work will be completed, but Allen said crews are expected to work throughout the day. One southbound lane and one of the left-turn lanes is closed at the intersection of North Main Street and Geary Road, according to city officials.

A water main broke in the same area of North Main Street between Geary Road and Sunnyvale Avenue in January, according to the water district.
