Junction City Public Works Crews are responding to a water main break along East Chestnut Street in Junction City.

Greg McCaffery, Municipal Services Director informed JCPost that they believe the break is along an 8 inch water main. The break is effecting businesses along East Chestnut Street, east of South Washington Street and portions of Grandview Plaza.

A time line for when the break should be fixed is unknown at this time, but McCaffery said they are hopeful to have it fixed Monday night . He noted the break occurred when a contractor installing telecommunications hit a city water main in the area of Chestnut and Hammond, near the Courtyard by Marriott hotel area.
