The transmission main size was originally thought to be 24 inches, but Great Lakes Water Authority later confirmed that the transmission main is actually 30 inches.
By 9 a.m., the agency was able to isolate the break by closing two values on the transmission main. In their last update, the Water Authority had begun dewatering the break site to determine the next steps in fixing it.
Crews are still evaluating the site to determine the cause of the break and any resulting damages.
