Monroe Street Water Main Break | Springfield News

A major water main break on Monroe Street flooded downtown, knocked out power and water to businesses, and cracked the pavement—forcing crews to replace a 20-foot section of century-old pipe. Though inspected recently and deemed fine, the aging infrastructure failed, prompting Mayor Misty Buscher to meet with affected businesses and explore funding for repairs. Water service will be restored by Sunday, but a boil advisory remains in place; full street repairs will take weeks.
