What’s described as a fairly major water leak occurred next to a busy Grass Valley street Monday evening. Nevada Irrigation District Water Operations Manager, Chip Close, says it was on the side of East Main Street, just down from the Holiday Lodge. But there was also a notable gas odor…
So, Close says, water and gas service disruptions ended up lasting all night for nearby customers. The good news is that it was a service line and not a main line, which would have resulted in a more significant loss of water…
Close says it was likely routine wear and tear that caused the leak, that many of the town’s service lines are fairly old. Traffic impacts were minimal, since no water inundated the road.
