NoDa residents deal with flooding, outages after water main break

CHARLOTTE — Several NoDa residents were without water much of Wednesday as crews worked to repair a busted water pipe.

It started early Wednesday morning along East 37th Street, causing streets, yards and even some homes to flood.

Water was restored by 5 p.m.

Neighbors say what should have been an average start to the day quickly turned into a messy situation.

“I’m making plans to not stay at my home,” Matt Villmer, a neighbor, said. “When I walked to my neighbor’s house, you can see underneath the ground. I mean, it was going for hours and hours, so you can see some erosion underneath the ground.”
