Anyone noticing that the water in Holmes Run looks different today: you’re not crazy: it’s because of a nearby water main break.

Alexandria Transportation & Environmental Services said though a water main break this morning (Thursday) at the 1100 block of Anderson Street has been cleared up, water in Holmes Run may “remain cloudy for the remainder of the day.”

Alexandria’s seen multiple water main breaks in recent weeks owing to the decreasing temperatures.

Water main breaks can be reported online through an automated process.
