UPDATE: Edwardsville gas main repaired after rupture
They're back in their homes, but residents of an Edwardsville apartment complex have no heat after a gas main rupture Monday afternoon.
Crews were working to move cable and telephone lines hit the Ameren gas line along north Main Street, causing gas to build up under the street and in the basement of the nearby apartment complex. Electricity to that building was disconnected as a precaution.
Crews drilled through the sidewalk to reach the break and cap it. Residents were allowed to return home, but had no gas service.
