ARCADIA — Officials have lifted a majority of the evacuation area after a gas main break in Arcadia forced residents in the area to evacuate on Monday, according to Arcadia Police.
Residents who live on the 200 block of E. Howard Ave remain under the evacuation.
The Hamilton County Emergency Management shared a release on social media from the department, stating that an independent contractor doing fiber work struck a large gas main, and that law enforcement and fire personnel were sent to the area of the gas line break.
"During the investigation, it was determined the process to correct the problem could take up to six or more hours to correct," Hamilton County Emergency Management shared on Facebook.
The Arcadia Town Hall is open for residents to stay and get updates.
