Broken Water Line Shuts Down Traffic, School in Emeryville
EBMUD crews are at the scene.
EMERYVILLE, CA- A broken water line in Emeryville has caused road closures on San Pablo Avenue between 45th Street and 53rd Street and forced the closure of one school because it has no water service.
Escuela Bilingue Internacional has closed its Emeryville campus, located at 4550 San Pablo Ave., for the remainder of the day, a school employee said. The school's second campus, located at 410 Alcatraz Ave. in Oakland, is unaffected and remains open, according to the employee.
East Bay MUD crews are on scene. There's no estimate of when the roads will reopen.
