Centerville approves $2.4 million water main overhaul after Mother’s Day blowout

By Linda Petersen

CENTERVILLE—A recent water main break underscored the need for Centerville City to replace water pipelines in its aging system. In the early hours of Mother’s Day a massive water main break at Main Street and 1500 North sent 2 million gallons of water surging into the streets. The 1:30 a.m. rupture forced the closure of Main Street in both directions and left approximately 60 homes without service for nearly 12 hours.
