Main connecting with water tower breaks on Pine Street

By Christine Holmes, News Director

A water main feeding to the Putnam Hill water tower has burst on Pine Street, affecting a large portion of the south end of Zanesville.

Employees from the water department on scene say a foot of water has already been lost in the water tower.

A portion of Pine Street between Grove Avenue and Merrick Avenue is closed while crews make repairs.

Crews do not have an estimate of when water will be restored at this time.
