The water rose rapidly in some areas before the Beijing Waterworks Group cut off the water supply in the region.
Repair work is proceeding cautiously as there are thought to be gas pipes next to the water pipe.
The Beijing Waterworks Group has delivered water to the communities around the site, but said as yet they are unable to tell when the water supply will be resumed.
