Repairs to water main on North Main complete

UPDATE @ 7:30 a.m.:

Dayton police say repairs to a ruptured water main on North Main Street were completed around midnight and the roadway was reopened shortly after.

UPDATE @ 6:01 p.m.: The repair work on the ruptured water main at North Main Street and Pointview Avenue is expected to take up to 8 hours, officials tell us.

About a dozen homes and businesses have lost some water pressure because of the break. No injuries have been reported from the break.

There may be a boil advisory issued once the problem is repaired, a county official said at the scene.

Witnesses said they saw water bubbling in the street just before the pressure sent a large plume of water shooting into the air.

If you are northbound from downtown Dayton, possible detours include heading east on Maplewood Avenue, north on Kathleen Avenue, then west on Fernwood Avenue to get back onto North Main.

If you are southbound on North Main, possible detours include heading west on Maplelawn Drive, south on Sandalwood Drive and east on Cliff Street to get back on Main.
