FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A water main break affected an area of East Las Olas Boulevard on Saturday and Sunday in Fort Lauderdale Beach.
There were water service disruptions at nearby residences, hotels, and other businesses. Norm Boily was at Hall of Fame Marina.
“Without water, you can’t use the facilities and the boaters can’t wash their boats,” Boily said.
Fort Lauderdale police officers temporarily closed the Las Olas Boulevard eastbound lanes at Seabreeze Boulevard.
DeAngelo Hawkins said he arrived with his family from Tampa, and he was hoping to relax at his hotel, but instead had to drive around for 25 minutes.
“It was pretty stressful after driving four-and-a-half hours,” Hawkins said.
City workers and Southern Underground Industries workers were repairing a 12-inch water main, impacted asphalt, and landscaping, according to a city update.
