Im tori campbell. Its wednesday, january 2nd. Developing news from the east bay weve been following since 4 30 this morning. A water main break on jackson. Ktvus alex savidge was first on the scene and joins us to tell us when crews expect to have the water shut off. It was supposed to be at 7 00. But thats no longer the case . Reporter thats correct. The time frame, obviously being pushed back. Its a very complicated process from what i understand as they are still trying to isolate where the break is on this underground water line and what those workers are doing from the city of haywards Water Department, they are checking the valves near this intersection trying to see which one of them will shut off the water. Obviously they havent found it yet. Lanes of traffic are closed down. More of them have opened up. So cars are coming through. This is jackson and santa clara streets. As you can see, its right near the ent transto 880 entrance to 880. Water is still running down the street. This is what it looked like when this 12inch line ruptured. Firefighters were called in to cut off the flow of water. It wasnt a simple fix. So apparently, the Water Department had to be called in. A Police Lieutenant is hoping to open more lanes of traffic here at this intersection once the where once the where the is shut off. We need to open up the intersection for the commute hour. What they are trying to do right now is actually locate where in the pipe the break is so at least shut the water down and repair the pipe is secondary. Reporter meantime, while all of this repair work is taking place and crews try to shut off the water, the lieutenant says Water Service has not been impacted in this area. There have been no interruptions for homes and businesses nearby. Theres no flooding in the area, which is good news, given the amount of water that was coming out of this line. The Police Lieutenant says once the crews can get the water shut off and control the flow, there will still be repair work need to be done. The crews need to get in there and figure out where the line was ruptured and then it will take time to repair the it. Live in this morning in hayward, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. Im gonna throw in alternate routes. This is very close to interstate 880. I want to put up a map here and show you the best way to avoid this is not to use 92 into hayward, jackson street.

Meanwhile, the house of representatives managed to pass the senate bill that protects 99 of americans from an income tax increase. The central premise of my campaign was to change the tax code that was too skewed to the wealthy, at the expense of working middleclass americans. Tonight weve done that. And again, theres no word yet on when president obama will sign the bill. Heres some provisions a permanent extension of previous tax cuts for all taxpayers except individuals making more than 400,000 a year or couples making more than 450,000. The bill continues Unemployment Benefits for the longterm jobless for another year. It postpones decisions on controversial spending cuts for two months as well as the debt ceiling and current federal budget.

Jimmy jamie dupree is live with a rundown of the winners and losers in the process now that a deal is done, at least for now, jamie. Reporter yeah. You know, tori, i think the definition of who is the winner depends on what side of the political football you are on. Its really interesting. Some think the republicans gave up everything and caved and that the republicans did an awful job. On the flip side, you can find a lot of liberal and labor groups who are going ballistic. They think the president sold them out and gave too much to republicans. So very, very interesting to go into these two parallels today and hear both sides saying they think the other got the better of them. A lot of democrats feel like its a good idea. A lot of republicans liking the tax agreement but wanting more upon budget cuts. Well have more fiscal cliffs coming up. I want to talk about what. But going back to both sides being unhappy. Thats the critical definition of a good deal, right, that reporter well, at least a compromise. You are absolutely right. Thats what we thought from the beginning. Both sides if they are grumbling about it i think in some ways, look, the republicans were able to attain something. Now, republicans were able to get the income threshold raised to about 400,000 for an individual, 450,000 a family. That was much higher than the 250,000 proposed by the president. Some republicans still think that even though they were able to get so much of that made permanent that it still really wasnt a vict, for them. There is a victory for them. A lot of democrats didnt like that. Were losing a little bit of your audio. I theres basically three more fiscal cliffs that congress is facing right now, right . Reporter the debt limit in february. The automatic march and the third is a temporary budget runs out runs out at the end of march. That will present more situations and battling. It might be a very rough start to the new year in terms of political battling between democrats and republicans. Of course, the white house, as well. All right. Jamie dupree, joining us live from washington, d. C. You can find a link to jamies blog at ktvu. Com. Pull down the news bar. All right, tori. 7 20.
