Radio traffic reports a water main break near Peterson Street in Portage. Police and fire units are on scene. There is a faint, occasional odor in the area of the break, so dispatch is asked to contact the utility company NIPSCO to check for any related problem. Earlier in the traffic, there is mention of a welfare check involving a person in a manic episode near a cleaners business, where staff say they lost their vehicle keys and cannot leave, but those units are later told they can disregard. Another call for a sick person on Wabash Avenue is dispatched to fire and medic units. The primary incident at this location is the water main break with a minor odor concern, with NIPSCO requested to respond.
