Jim West says what should have been a seamless home construction process has turned into a frustrating ordeal, with an unresolved water leak threatening the stability of his property and delaying essential work on his new home.

Fresh water has been streaming down Colquitt Street in the Montrose area for roughly three weeks, according to people who live in the area.

Concerns are growing in a west Houston neighborhood over a water leak that has lasted for several days.

For at least three weeks, and possibly longer, water, mostly likely tens of thousands of gallons, has been pouring out of a broken 12″ water main along Woodway Drive, near Winrock.
