A water main break occurs when a pipe in the water distribution system bursts, leading to a sudden loss of water pressure and potentially flooding in the surrounding area. This can disrupt water service to homes and businesses, cause damage to roads and infrastructure, and create unsafe conditions. Utility companies typically respond quickly to assess the damage, isolate the break, and repair the pipe to restore service. Contamination of the water supply can also be a concern, necessitating testing and possibly issuing boil water advisories.
