OPA-LOCKA, FLA. (WSVN) - Residents in parts of Opa-locka who came home to find they didn’t have water have had their service resored, one day after a water main rupture.
City officials said a contractor was installing a stormwater management system at a new senior living facility near Northwesy 27th Avenue and Peri Street when they inadvertently hit a 12-inch water main, at around 10 a.m. on Wednesday.
Officials said crews needed several hours to make repairs, as they had to track down the necessary parts.
