Dozens of homes in Fairlington are without water pressure this afternoon due to a water main break.
The break was first reported this morning along S. Abingdon Street, between 30th and 31st Street S. Arlington County crews are on scene making repairs, with water service expected to be restored by 8 p.m.
Only one lane of traffic is getting by the work on S. Abingdon Street, according to Arlington Alerts.
Last year Arlington Dept. of Environmental Services crews repaired 203 water main breaks in the county, the department said in a tweet, shortly before tweeting about the Fairlington incident.
Repairs expected to be complete by 8 pm, barring complications. Water service for 50-100 customers will be affected. #VaTraffic (end)
