but they are still dealing with one on South Highland Street in West Hartford.
An 8-inch water main broke on South Highland Street in West Hartford this morning and was shut down at 6:50 a.m. Service was restored just before 2:30 p.m., according to a spokesperson for MDC.
The break affected 10 multi-family homes on South Highland Street from Farmington Avenue to Fennway.
"It was just flooding down the street. It was just gushing," said Frank Portal, of West Hartford. "It's the cold and the warm. ... You get the frost, the cold and this is what happens."
David Garewski of the West Hartford Public Works Department said it was difficult to find the catch basins on the side of the road because of the snow.
The main was installed in 1927.
