Officials say a water main under the garage had ruptured and caused a steady stream of water which was threatening several homes.

Crews made sure the water flowed into a nearby storm sewer, and then used pumps to drain water out of window wells before it had a chance to enter the basements.

Several homes were checked for water damage, and only a small amount of water found its way into the basement of one home.

No damage estimate is known at this time.
