Water Main Breaks On West State Street In Geneva

GENEVA, IL — A water main broke Wednesday morning near the intersection of West State and Second streets in downtown Geneva.

The main broke around 7:35 a.m., and the Geneva Public Works Department responded to reduce the amount of water spilling onto the street. Crews applied salt to the roadway to help prevent icy patches.

While crews work on the repair, westbound State Street traffic is down to one lane from First to Second streets, city officials said.

Both lanes of eastbound traffic remain open west of the Fox River.

The repair is expected to take several hours to complete, officials said. The city will share updates when more information becomes available.
