According to Great Falls Park and Recreation staff, the slide was caused by a leak or break in an irrigation line up the hill in Warden Park.

City workers put barricades around the debris on the sidewalk and in one lane of Overlook Drive below the leak and direct traffic, which was slowed for a few hours.

Equipment was brought to the scene to remove the slide debris, which included grass and mud, from the sidewalk and the street.

There were no reports of disruption to water lines or water pressure to surrounding homes or businesses.

No injuries were reported.

Great Falls Park and Recreation, the City of Great Falls Public Works, and Great Falls Fire Rescue all responded.
