Beaumont — City of Beaumont crews are working to stop a large water main break on College Street, impacting homes and businesses, according to Mayor Roy West.

Director of Water Utilities Mike Harris tells KFDM the leak was reported this morning on College Street between 11th and Interstate 10. It forced Starbucks to close, impacted the Raceway gas station on the west side of college, as well as other businesses and homes.

Harris tells KFDM crews have now stopped the leak and restored water to most areas that lost service.

Due to the major water main break, areas of Beaumont may experience discolored water, according to the city.

If you are experiencing discolored water, contact 311 or (409) 980-8311 and someone will come out and flush the area.
