Water main break closes section of Beach Drive in south Merrick
Posted
A water main broke on Sunday at the corner of Bernard Street and Beach Drive in south Merrick, sending water streaming onto local streets. Above, Bernard Street, just west of Beach Drive.
Nassau County Police blocked off the corner of Bernard Street and Beach Drive in south Merrick on Sunday, Dec. 1, around 11 a.m. after a water main break sent water spewing onto local streets. An officer at the scene said to avoid the corner because officials feared the break could cause a sinkhole to form in the street. Water had already forced up a section of asphalt and split it into sections.
At press time, there was no word on what caused the break or when the water main might be repaired.
