KANSAS CITY, Mo. — KC Water crews are on-site at 929 Walnut Street repairing a 10-inch water main break.
The break was reported around 10:30 a.m. Thursday.
Around 32 customers are affected, experiencing low to no water pressure.

Crews are also putting salt on the street due to the excessive water mixed with cold and slick conditions.
Despite cleanup efforts, damage from the water main break has indefinitely closed the Walnut location of Spokes Cafe.
Spokes tweeted its 1200 Washington Street location will remain open while waiting for the Walnut shop to "dry out."
Walnut Shop closed indefinitely.
