UPDATE, 3:15 p.m. | Kansas Gas Service and Water One crews worked through the heat on Wednesday and restored service to nearly 60 Shawnee residents who lost service last night after water and gas line breaks.

UPDATE, 2:40 p.m. | Just before 2:30 p.m., Water One said crews worked "hard in this heat and got customers back on with water."

KSHB 41 has reached out to Kansas Gas Service for updates on service restoration now that water is back in the area.

The gas service said earlier repairs would have to wait for water restoration to be completed first.

ORIGINAL STORY | Nearly 60 Shawnee residents don't have water due to a water main and gas line break overnight.

Water One said a 15-inch water main broke at 67th and Quivira overnight, around 1 a.m. Wednesday.

That break then caused a gas line break.

Gas crews tapped the broken line, which impacted eight customers. Water One crews are now working to repair the large main break, which is expected to take much of Wednesday.

When the water line is repaired, the gas line will then be repaired.

67th Street is closed between Quivira and Garnett.
