College Station Utilities repair crews spent part of Wednesday evening making temporary repairs to a broken eight inch water line.
That forced the closure of Holleman between Glade and Winding for about two hours.
CSU’s water services department had been monitoring the leak and planned to repair it next week.
When the leak worsened significantly, emergency repairs were required.
14 customers were without service and other customers may have experienced discolored water as the result of sediment that was moved when water was directed away from the break.
This was the second break in a major College Station water line in five days, following repairs last Saturday outside the Genghis Grill restaurant on University near Tarrow.
