South Tulsa businesses lose water pressure

KRMG lost water pressure to the entire five-story building Tuesday afternoon.

Crews had just been called out to the area near 71^st and Yale when we called the city around 2:00.

A 10-inch water line busted behind the shopping center on the southeast corner.

Sutures and QuikTrip tell KRMG they didn’t know about the break and hadn’t noticed a difference in their water.

Crews on the scene say businesses as far away as 61^st lost water pressure.

St. Francis Hospital was one of them.

Some businesses started to regain water pressure shortly after crews arrived at the break.

However, the city says it could be up to 16 hours before all pressure is restored.
