  "textContent": "A water main break caused a big mess in Georgetown on Thursday.\n\nD.C. water crews tell FOX 5 that it’s going to take several hours to fix the water main that broke.\n\nVideo shows water shooting out from what appears to be a crack in the concrete wall on the lower level of the Georgetown Park parking garage, where several cars and SUVs were parked.\n\nAbove ground, the 3200 block of M Street, NW, is roped off with yellow caution tape as crews continue to work in the cold temperatures to repair the six-foot broken water main.\n\nA D.C. water official says 20 commercial properties have been impacted.\n\nOne of those is Pinstripes, a popular bowling alley in Georgetown. They decided to close temporarily due to a water main issue.\n\nAnother business that had to shut down is Clyde’s restaurant.\n\n\"I was actually meeting my friend for dinner and when I walked up, I saw that the doors were closed, and then I noticed there was the fire department here and I saw the sign that said it was closed,\" one restaurant-goer said. \"I see water gushing out the walls, I said, ‘oh, this is a problem.’\"\n\nD.C. water officials say it could take eight to 10 hours to repair the water main.\n\nIt’s expected to impact traffic at M Street, NW, and Wisconsin Avenue into the morning hours.",
