DEKALB — Some residents in DeKalb are without water this morning.

National Grid crews who were repairing a broken pole in near the corner of County Route 17 and U.S. Highway 11 accidently drilled into a water line, according to DeKalb Town Supervisor John Frary.

“We don't know if it was into the main line,” he said.

Water was shut off at 1:30 a.m. this morning and about 50 homes were impacted.

The water line should be fixed before lunchtime, Frary said.
