Food stands, among other places at the park, were closed until water was fully restored hours later. Crews were making repairs to the line throughout the day.

Officials didn’t say what caused the water main break, but people at the park told Channel 11 some bathrooms were unusable, along with several popular food stands. Park attendees said they received vouchers to come back at a later date because of the water main break.
