Water main break causes street to buckle
HONOLULU — It appears that it will take all day to clean up the mess from a water main break near Salt Lake in Honolulu.
Hawaii News Now says the 8-inch water main break occurred early Monday morning and buckled a portion of Ahua Street. The break occurred just after 3 a.m.
Crews cut off the flow of water and storm drains were draining the water away, but it is possible that some buildings are flooded.
A water wagon is being provided for nine businesses without water.
