A 20-inch water main ruptured on Cradduck Road on Monday, cutting service to a large portion of Ada and leaving many residents suddenly without running water as city crews rushed in to make repairs. Cradduck Road was shut down in both directions so workers could reach the break, and drivers are being diverted around the work zone.
According to KTEN, the burst 20-inch main knocked out service across much of the city while crews worked on-site to restore the supply. The station quoted city spokesperson Lisa Bratcher saying residents should start to see water coming back on, though she cautioned that pressure will likely stay low for several hours as the repair work wraps up.
Repairs, Closures and What to Expect
Crews dug in at the Cradduck Road break, closing the street to traffic while they replaced the damaged section of pipe. “Residents should begin to see the water coming on,” Bratcher told KTEN, adding that extreme heat can leave mains more vulnerable to failure as workers push to bring pressure back up to normal levels.
