A busted water main gushed water onto Seventh Avenue on Dec. 1.<\/p>\n

An underground pipe between 65th and 66th streets spewed brown water onto the thoroughfare, causing traffic delays and threatening to spill over onto the nearby Gowanus Expressway, said Community Board 10\u2019s district manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty bad,\u201d Josephine Beckmann said at the time. \u201cIt\u2019s flowing in the street and because it\u2019s so close to the highway it\u2019s a concern. It\u2019s a heavily traveled roadway.\u201d<\/p>\n

The flow got really bad around 3 pm, but a person called 311 at 11 am complaining about a small leak in the street, according to Beckmann.<\/p>\n

It is unclear what caused the pipe to burst, she said.<\/p>\n

Department of Environmental Protection workers arrived at 4 pm to shut off the water, and the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n
