North Main Street in West Hartford has reopened after a flooding situation on the road Wednesday morning.
West Hartford police and Metropolitan District Commission officials responded to initial reports of a possible water main break at the Wyndwood road intersection in town. However, West Hartford Public Works Director John Phillips said that the flooding was due to an overflowing catch basin, causing ponding on the road.
Public works crews opened the catch basin in the area to alleviate the flooding on the roadway, he said.
North Main Street was closed in the southbound direction temporarily and drivers were advised to use Trout Brook Drive as a detour.
West Hartford public works crews clearing snow are seeing ponding issues on other local roads, including Farmington Avenue, according to Phillips.
