Spokane Water Main Break: Causes & Repairs
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
Spokane city officials are working tirelessly to repair a major water main break on Washington Street, aiming to complete the task by the end of today. The break, which occurred near Eighth Avenue, has caused significant disruption, closing a section of the street and rerouting traffic. Despite the closure, local access is still available for residents and businesses. The exact cause of the rupture is unknown, but the cast iron pipe, installed in the 1920s, is believed to have been structurally weak. Recent rainfall may also have contributed to the failure.
