IDAHO FALLS – Crews are working to fix a broken water line after reports of water flowing down Yellowstone Highway.

The city of Idaho Falls water division is working to repair a broken water line on Yellowstone Highway, north of the intersection between Pancheri Drive near the old Sonic Drive-In on Tuesday morning.
