DUMFRIES, Va. –– A water line has ruptured again at Old Stage Coach Road and U.S. 1 in Dumfries.
Police report one lane of U.S. 1 north is closed due to the water main break and that drivers in the area should expect delays.
This is the second time in less than a month a water main has ruptured in the area. On June 29, a water main ruptured in the area spewing water into the sky.
Dumfries Town Manager Daniel Taber said this pipe burst is “suspiciously close” to the main that burst June 29.
The is old infrastructure, so it’s not surprising that we continue to see this happen,” said Taber.
Fire and rescue crews are on the scene and the department of public works has been called to asses the damage and repair the water main.
