The airport did not say it was experiencing any delays as a result, which is good, considering that TSA expects to screen a record number of people this July Fourth weekend.
“The valve feeding the pipe has been closed to stop the leaking, and cleanup efforts are now underway,” the airport said in a statement.
Part of the area was sectioned off with yellow caution tape as travelers snapped pictures and took videos.

"We would like to thank our passengers in Concourse G for their patience and understanding," officials said.
