Crews were assessing damage from a water main break that may leave many residents in Broward County without water through Saturday night.
Broward residents had been constantly calling 911 about the water main break, Mike Jachles, a spokesman for the Broward Sheriff's Office told the South Florida Sun Sentinel. But he advised that they only call for emergencies, fires or crimes.
Residents were very upset the water main break affected their Christmas Eve plans.
"People were on their way to my house them. I called them. We don't have water. It's supposed to be a festive time so I'm upset right now," said resident Brian Jamison.
