Several residences and businesses lost water service or had low pressure, and a city official said it could be two days before the area returns to normal. The rupture, which occurred about 4 a.m. in the middle of the 100 block of E. Madison St., at Hargrove Alley, turned city streets into fast-rushing streams carrying sand, mud, rocks and chunks of asphalt.
