CHARLOTTE — Charlotte Water says crews are working to repair a water pipe affecting service Uptown Friday morning.
The break happened around 3 a.m. in the 100th block of West 6th Street near North Tryon Street.
The Dunhill Hotel had to be evacuated likely due to the low pressure from the water main break.
