The Valentine's Day water main break not only flooded neighborhood streets in Skokie — it also totaled cars and required emergency calls to the plumber. The rush of water also erased priceless memories, like a wedding dress that one local family had stored in a box since the 1980s.

Residents of the village of Skokie, Illinois, awoke Friday morning with a main break, causing city crews to begin fixing the leaking water.

Officials said the water system is refilling and water pressure will continue to increase Saturday throughout Skokie.

Some residents are unhappy with how the village responded to the disaster — and said as much at a village meeting Tuesday night. Jermont Terry reports.

Skokie restaurants closed for Valentine’s Day due to a massive water main break are still trying to recover the business they lost. The village is encouraging residents to re-do Valentine’s Day by making reservations for Feb.
