MIAMI GARDENS (CBSMiami) – Water was seen spewing out of the ground in Miami Gardens late Wednesday afternoon.

According to Miami Gardens police, there is a road closure in the area of Northwest 191st Street from 39th Court to 42nd Avenue.

Police say the water is from a water main break.

According to the City of Miami Gardens, 80 homes have been affected.

There is a boil water notice for those homes and city workers will go door to door to hand out notices.

Homes receiving a boil water order have to boil water for drinking, cooking, washing dishes, brushing teeth and making ice.

If a homeowner in that area did not lose water or receive a boil water notice, they are not affected.

Repair work is expected to be completed late Wednesday evening.
