Portion of May Avenue closed for emergency water line repair
Published on July 09, 2025
All four lanes of May Avenue between Northwest 69th Street and Northwest 72nd Street are closed while Oklahoma City Utilities crews make an emergency repair to a 48-inch water main that burst earlier this morning. Drivers are advised to find alternative routes if needing to access businesses or residences in this area.
At this time, a large portion of customers in north OKC can expect lower-than-normal water pressure until the repair is complete. Some customers may also experience temporary service disruptions.
Utilities estimates the water main repair will be finished by 8 p.m., pending unforeseen challenges due to the size of the main. The cause of the issue has not yet been determined.
