A massive geyser stemming from a water main break blasted water over a home in Middlesex County on Monday afternoon, a local official said.
Contractors were completing work on Woodbrook Drive in Edison around 4 pm. when they hit a water main, breaking open the 30-inch water line, Mayor Sam Joshi said.
“It was a contractor, but there were actually three different contractors in that area, so we have to identify exactly who is responsible,” Joshi told NJ Advance Media.
NBC New York filed this video report.
The lines are owned by Middlesex Water Company, Joshi said. But the company told 6ABC they were not doing any work in the area at the time of the water main break.
No one was injured, Joshi said in a statement posted on Facebook.
The home the geyser struck has been deemed “inhabitable,” he said.
Officials are not expecting residents to have water flow disrupted, “due to it being a different line from the residential distribution,” he said in the Facebook post.
