From what I heard from the neighbors who lived around this particular area of the street where the water main broke, this was the second time this issue occurred. It was repaired a few months before I believe. I have never witnessed a broken water main that split the street in half, so I am willing to bet it wasn't repaired correctly the first time, but then again I'm not a civil engineer.
I am going to file my claim today and contact DELDOT (Delaware division of transportation) and see what they have to say. I'll keep this thread updated. Thanks for everyone's words.
