I know enough about the line in question to know that it's a biiiiig ####ing feeder main; several feet in diameter. I didn't know it had been leaking since last night...
I bet we'll never know, but I wonder if the emergency alert went out because at this point, half a day later, the waterworks team couldn't get it fixed so to get it done ASAP they reckoned they'd hit the proverbial nuclear button and shut distribution from Bearspaw off entirely. Gnarly, if so.
