Across town at 18th Avenue and W. Washington Street will be the site of another water main fix on Tuesday, June 18.

Thull said a specialty crew was brought in to help pinpoint the location which is in the eastbound lanes of W. Washington Street.

“Aggressive ground” may be the reason for the breaks however an official cause has yet to be determined.
