Major waterline break reported in the City of Bellaire after ground contracts due to heat, lack of rain

BELLAIRE, Texas – Officials from the City of Bellaire are working to repair a “major waterline break” that briefly caused service disruptions to several residents and businesses on Wednesday.

According to city officials, the waterline break occurred at the intersection of Bellaire Boulevard and South Rice Avenue. The cause of the issue was determined to be due to the contraction or movement of the ground caused by heat and lack of rain.
