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.”
