Flooding in Downtown Vancouver due to water main break on Robson Street

A water main has burst on Robson Street and caused flooding along Denman, Bidwell, and Georgia Street Sunday.

There was a considerable amount of water pooling in the intersection of Denman and Georgia St. after flowing downhill from Robson and Bidwell.

The City of Vancouver says as of 8:20 p.m. Sunday, temporary water services have been restored to the building. More work is expected to take place today.

The flooding was right next to the area set for Vancouver’s Santa Claus Parade.
