MOAB, Utah ( ABC4 ) — A road is covered in water and mud and several homes are without water Wednesday due to a water main line break at the intersection of 400 North and Taylor Avenue in Moab.

City officials announced Wednesday morning that some homes on Tusher and 400 North may have their water shut off as the Moab City Water Department works to repair a 6-inch water main break. Officials estimate the repairs could take anywhere from eight to 12 hours to complete due to the amount of water damage on the roadway.

“Please drive carefully in this area while crews work to complete the repairs,” officials wrote in the post.

The cause of the water main break is unknown at this time.
