Crews are working to fix a large water main break that left dozens of people in a Detroit neighborhood without power and heat.

A neighborhood in Southwest Detroit was flooded after a water main break early Monday morning, but the flood waters are receding.

On Monday, a 54-inch steel transmission line built in the 1930s ruptured in the southeast part of the city, reported the Detroit Free Press, part of USA TODAY Network. Crews had to use inflatable boats to get through the knee-deep water, which in part aided in the rescue of about 200 people.
