HUNT VALLEY, MD. (WBFF) — Crews continue repairs Saturday following a significant water main break that disrupted water service and closed a portion of York Road in Baltimore County.

The break, which occurred on the morning of July 18, involved a 30-inch main at 11223 York Road in a commercial area of Cockeysville and Hunt Valley.

According to the Baltimore County Department of Public Works and Transportation, crews have cut out the broken main and are in the process of “tying the new section in and testing”.

Officials say the work is ongoing, though no estimated completion time has been provided.

“This is an around-the-clock effort,” said Erica Palmisano, Communications Director for the Baltimore County Executive’s Office.
