A water main burst Saturday evening caused areas to flood on Industrial Blvd.

City of Abilene staff said the water line ruptured around 5 p.m., causing water to stream down most of the road.

They said the city lines break because of the extreme heat and this was the third burst line of the day.

Officials anticipated having the repairs complete by late Saturday night.
