Water main break snarls streets in Newark

NEWARK, N.J. - Crews are working to repair a water main break in Newark. 

Chopper 2 was over Academy Street between Broad and Halsey on Wednesday morning as utility workers tried to stop the flow of water. 

Officials say an eight inch service line ruptured just before 2 a.m., sending water pouring into the intersection. 

In a statement, the mayor said the line is used by the Fire Department. 

Drinking water was not affected for local residents and businesses.
