For the second time in a week, some Spanish Forks homes were flooded due to a water line break.
The break happened Friday afternoon as a construction crew accidentally struck the water line while installing a traffic signal and digging near the intersection of 800 East and Center Street, sending thousands of gallons of pressurized water gushing up into the road and down the hill into homes.
"Because of water or their utilities being shut off to ensure appliance safety and minimize water damage," said Nick Porter, spokesman for Spanish Fork. "They are working with the American Red Cross to get them taken care of." "I have been collecting these my whole life. They're worth close to $10,000," said the homeowner, who did not want to be identified.
