Anchor Bay Water Main Break

If you live in Anchor Bay, you may have noticed low pressure or no water early this morning…or maybe you didn’t because our crew was up there rerouting the water early on this freezing morning so no one would have to do without!

The guys are still up there, making a permanent fix to the broken water line right now.

Central Valley Cable customers were affected by this water line break, also, because CVC’s line was in the same ditch and got damaged. Both companies worked closely to restore internet/cable/water to all our customers.

Thanks NGWC and CVC customers for your patience!

This is how the water main break caused the area’s cable internet service outage. The extreme water pressure sliced right through the data cable.

Here you can see the break across the underside of the 6″ water main. The water pressure was so intense at the break site that it broke through the adjacent locator line (the wire in the conduit).
