A water main broke shortly after 3 a.m. causing the partial collapse of South Street between Jefferson and Pacific Streets.
In addition to the collapse and street closure, the potential for flooding exists in the immediate area until the water main is closed.
Motorist and pedestrians that utilize South Street should avoid the area at all cost and should consider using alternative routes until the repairs are complete.
People who utilize buses that travel along South Street should anticipate a disruption in service until the repairs are complete and the road reopened.
The estimated time of completion is unknown at this time.
