Water Main Break Shoots Up 50 Feet

A water main break early Wednesday morning sent water cascading in the air in the 8600 block of Skillman Street.

The break was spotted by nearby firefighters around 4:15 a.m. The break sent water 30-50 feet in the air.

No one was injured and there was no damage.

Dallas Utilities got the water off around 4:30 a.m.

The break did cut water to some nearby businesses, including the local McDonalds.

The city averages around six breaks a day, but most don't send water shooting into the air, crews said.
