According to Deputy Public Works Director Janet Ramsey, this was a major leak that caused

extensive damage to the road surface making it unsafe. The water traveled under the asphalt causing sinkholes, some of which may not be visible until all the asphalt is removed, said Ramsey. So even bikes and pedestrians should not go through the barricades. We have engaged the contractor who will help make the repairs including pipe and asphalt. While we do not yet have a timeline, we anticipate at least two to three weeks for repairs to be completed.

Updates such as revised timelines and new information will be released to the news media and on the city's social media channels including Facebook and Instagram. Catch up with more local news stories on signalsaz.com. Be in the know with the F1RSD2 No Ultimate Holiday Guide.
