CHICAGO — Crews are working to repair a water main that broke on the Northwest Side.
A 12-inch water main burst at 8 p.m. Thursday at Nagle and Catalpa in the Jefferson Park neighorbood.
Several residents haven’t had water since the water main ruptured, spilling water onto the street.
Julia Quezada lives on the block, her car tires were stuck in at least two inches of ice.
"My car is frozen and I’m not sure I’m going to be able to get out to work," she said.
An 88-year-old woman called 911 for help.
Homes on Nagle, between Balmoral and Gregory, are still without water until the repairs are complete.
"I’m really grateful that they’ve been out there in this terrible terrible weather and they’ve dropped off like 3 cases of water so that was really awesome too," said Kara Wilke who lives on the block.
"They’ve been working around the clock through the morning I know this is a tremendous inconvenience to the residents and I feel horrible for them but I want to personally thank the workers for what they’ve done," said the Mayor.
As of noon Thursday water had not been restored on the block.
