CLARKSBURG, W.Va (WDTV) — Another water main break has been reported in Clarksburg, according to city officials.

The City of Clarksburg reported the break at 1221 West Pike Street in the Adamston area at approximately 9 a.m. Saturday morning.

Crews are on scene assessing the damage and beginning repairs as of 10:30 a.m.

Water service in the area may be temporarily disrupted, officials said.

This is the fourth reported water main break reported in the area over the last two weeks.

After two were reported in one day last week, water board officials told 5 News the problem may get worse before it gets better as crews continue to repair the some-100-year-old water lines in the city.
