SANGER, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – Several blocks of Sanger are without water due to an "escalating" water main leak.

The city said around 6 p.m. that the leak initially only affected homes near the 300 Block of West Avenue, but "due to the escalating situation," the service interruption is now affecting homes between Greenwood Avenue and Academy Avenue and 5th Street and Church Avenue.

The city says residents in these areas may experience temporary water service interruption or significantly reduced water pressure.

Given the "urgent nature and complexity" of the incident, the city says it cannot provide an estimated time for repair, but assures residents that staff and emergency contractors are actively working to isolate and repair the damaged main.
