TULSA, Okla. — It's one of the least wonderful times of the year when a city gets hit with a winter wonderland and water main bursts at the same time.
In the case of Jan. 26, at least two spots along 21st Street were closed because of a break: close to the intersection at Lewis Avenue, and another at Hudson Avenue. Luckily, most surrounding businesses were closed, but traffic was impacted.
According to the City of Tulsa online portal, ten were reported by the end of the workday, and the city confirmed at least 15 breaks since the cold snap began Jan. 23.
