Early this morning, solutions began manifesting for residents in Lauderdale Manors facing the unsavory situation of a broken sewer main. Southern Underground Industries, Inc. completed repairs on the 24-inch sewer force main that had ruptured the day prior, the City of Fort Lauderdale's official website reported.
As a consequence of the repair work, Chateau Park Drive remains a no-go zone for commuters between NW 13th Street and NW 12th Street, with a detour diverting traffic to NE 13th Street and NE 11th Place, the update continued to inform. With little fanfare, but much-needed expediency, the sewer calamity seems contained, the rerouted traffic a minor inconvenience compared to the potential hazards a compromised sewer system poses.
The original break was noted yesterday evening, and the city was quick to dispatch a response team to address the fiasco, the initial article from Fort Lauderdale's website mentioned. The city urged residents to avoid the affected area. At this time, details on the cause of the break and the cost to the city have not been disclosed.
