A Friday afternoon water main break in downtown St. James resulted in quick action by the city, as the line break occurred during rush hour traffic near the downtown four-way intersection. Public Works Director Lyle Thomas said the break took several hours to repair, causing traffic to be routed to lanes around the water, which was leaking into the roadway.
