NBC 7 Nicole Gomez reports.
A ruptured 16-inch recycled water pipeline has shut down a busy Santee intersection as crews work to repair the damage.
Authorities closed Mission Gorge Road at Fanita Road Tuesday evening around 7 p.m. when a pipeline broke, leaving water flooding the intersection.
Roughly 240 recycle water customers will be without water for a period of time until the pipeline is repaired, according to Melissa McChesney, a communications officer at the Padre Dam Water District.
Recycled water is used for irrigation and outdoor purposes, McChesney said, and not for things like drinking, showering or cooking.
