iWitness Jeff Shirley sent News Talk Radio video of a broken water main in downtown Saskatoon on Thursday night.

When he tried to report the breakage to the police, they redirected him to city hall's telephone service, where Shirley said he was bogged down by menus.

He eventually resorted to calling 911, whose operators sent city maintenance to repair the main.
