Water service to 17 West Hartford homes has been restored after a 6-inch water main break on Crosshill Road early Tuesday sent water gushing down the street, temporarily flooding the road before crews were able to shut the water down and begin repairs.
The break happened in the area of 15 Crosshill Road around 3:15 a.m. According to the Metropolitan District, the main was installed in 1940.
Seventeen homes on Crosshill Road between Boswell Road and Greenacres Avenue were affected by the shutdown, which lasted about six hours. Water service was restored at 9:17 a.m., and repairs to the road are wrapping up.
MDC warned that customers may have a brief period of discolored water. If this happens, customers should run the water in the bathtub or shower until it runs clear.
