BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraqis were dealing Monday with an exploded water pipeline that flooded Baghdad streets, and a burning oil pipeline in northern Iraq -- both of which officials blamed on saboteurs.
Military officials do not believe the attacks were the work of an organized group, U.S.-led military coalition spokesman Charles Heatley said.
The water pipeline burst Sunday in the Adamiya neighborhood. Streets were flooded and much of Baghdad was without running water.
The oil pipeline -- which caught fire Saturday -- runs from an oil field near the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk to the Turkish port city of Ceyhan. Officials said they expect the flow of oil in the pipeline to resume in about a week.
Sunday, the U.S. military and Iraqi officials were investigating eyewitness reports that another oil pipeline was on fire, and may have been sabotaged, military officials said.
