Скачать или смотреть Leaky valve blamed for Inwood water main break that flooded streets

The FDNY received a call of a water main break in Inwood late Wednesday night where water was gushing up from the sewers all across the intersection of Dyckman Street and Nagle Avenue.

Beth DeFalco, a spokesperson for the city's Department of Environmental Protection, said there was a leaky valve that contributed to the water main break.

"We were able to isolate that valve and close it fully, which is terrific. Now you can see how quickly the flooding has already receded all throughout the block."

Water is slowly being restored to those who lost it.
