The city had a major water line break aroung 5 o'clock this morning leaving businesses downtown with little to no water.
"After doing a few minutes on the show," Esparza said. "I never drink coffee, I figured I'll just make some coffee for the crew here. I went back here and had a little trickle of water and thought man."
Esparza dj's the morning show on KEJS FM from 6-9AM.
He said he knew what the problem was as soon as he noticed there was a change.
"Since they've been working on some stuff up here downtown so I figured it was in conjuction," Esparza said.
Esparza received an e-mail from the city this morning explaining that a contractor had split the line on 10th and Avenue O.
He said normally it would not be an issue because he works in a small office, but today was different.
"There is not that many people in here so I didn't think itd be that big of a problem," Esparza said. "but then I have an eight piece band in the lobby and now it's a problem."
The city said the line has been repaired and water has been restored.
