Water main break causes road closure near 29th and 134th, Mount Vista WA


A water main break near the intersection of NE 29th Ave and NE 134th St caused heavy water to flow onto the road and sidewalk. The incident led to the closure of 134th Street and detours for traffic. Authorities called for excavation equipment to repair the broken pipe and attempted to shut off the water upstream to control the flow.
