A leaking two million gallon water tank in Rochester forced residents to evacuate their homes today.
A Rochester resident reported hearing a crash or banging sound coming from a 90 foot water tank around noon Tuesday.
Water department crews saw water gushing from the bottom of the cylindrical tank.
Rochester police ordered nearby residents to evacuate and detoured traffic around the scene. City Engineer Peter Norson says that the tank doesn't appear to be in danger of collapsing.
