Bethany, MO: A water line break in Bethany caused early morning confusion after reports came in that water was flowing out of the ground in a few locations in town. A ditch located on Wilson Ave. was filled to the limit as the rushing water poured over the end of driveways after the tube couldn’t handle the volume of water on it way to lower ground. Across town another area of Bethany was suffering from the same problem, as a backhoe could be seen digging into the street by Allen Park.
