Water main break shuts down portions of Central in Wichita

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Crews from the City of Wichita are working to fix a water main break.

The break is located along Central Avenue between I-135 and Hillside Ave. Water services for homes and businesses between I-135 and Hillside and 3rd Street and Elm Street are currently affected.

Some traffic is being diverted to the turn lanes due to high water over the road. City crews are working to restore service.

It has yet to be determined how long it will take to repair the break and when residents and businesses in the area will regain normal water service. In addition to the break on Central, crews are also repairing a break on Madison Avenue between Harry and Mount Vernon, just east of the Canal Route in southeast Wichita.

You can monitor all current water main breaks, as well as see estimated service restoral times by viewing the City of Wichita Water Outages Map.
