Repairs to broken water main in Walnut Creek completed

WALNUT CREEK — Traffic on one of the city’s main throughfares was expected to begin flowing again Saturday night after crews finished repairs on a broken water main that jammed that road and other ones since Thursday.

East Bay Municipal Utility District workers had been at Ygnacio Valley Road and Homestead Avenue since about 2:45 p.m. Thursday afternoon. The break caused the closure of lanes in both directions on Ygnacio Valley Road.
