The break was located in front of INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center near the curbline, but the lane closest to the break must be closed to make sure crews have enough space to work safely.

“Those nearby, including medical facilities, businesses and residents, may experience low to no water pressure while the repair is underway. Utilities officials estimate that service will be restored between 5 and 7 p.m.” said the city.

No more information is available at this time.
