TULSA, OKLAHOMA -- A water main break in downtown Tulsa Tuesday afternoon rained down water and concrete debris on vehicles and nearby sidewalks. 

The break occurred at 1^st and Elgin causing a massive water fountain. 

A crew from the public works department was able to turn off the geyser by closing a nearby valve. 

The crew had to use a sledge hammer to break up the pavement on 1st Street in order to access the valve.

No word on what impact the break will have on water service to nearby businesses.
