Water main hit during constructions, Elmhurst residents suffer consequences
A main water pipe was ruptured during construction on Queens Blvd. The pipe was broken at about 8am on Friday. The constant flow of water delayed residents and commuters from going about their day. Trains, buses, traffic and even businesses were highly affected by the muddy water. Workers scrambled as it nearly took about 5 hours to stop the water flow.
The owner, 85-15 Queens Blvd Reality was recently slapped with a $1,500 fine for failure to provide notification to the department of buildings prior to the beginning of the project in July.
The water flow was so powerful that residents reported floating trash cans going all around the area. Police advised drivers and commuters to stay clear of the affected area.
