Jarvis closed at The Esplanade for water-main break

City crews are working to repair a broken water-main on Lower Jarvis Street that has flooded an area of the street.

There are fears that, if the water is not contained, a nearby crane could be toppled.

Water began to leak around 6:30 a.m. and crews are working to ensure the water level does not get high enough to threaten any of the nearby construction equipment.

The intersection of Lower Jarvis and The Esplanade is expected to be closed for several hours as crews repair the damage.
