Pipe issues continue to plague the state even with the extremely cold snap at an end.
Crews worked to make repairs overnight after water main issues in Newington and West Hartford.
The first was on Francis Avenue in Newington. Crews shut down the water main around 8 p.m. Tuesday and closed the road between Day Street and Willard Avenue (Route 173). The water service has been restored, but the road remains closed.
The 8-inch water main was installed in 1951.
Two businesses - Lighthouse Community Holiness Church and John And Sons Landscaping – were affected, as well as one nearby home.
MDC crews were also looking into a possible water main leak at the intersection of Quaker Lane South and Park Road. There was limited information on that issue, but there was water visible in the road.
Water main breaks are common during cold weather when freezing causes pipes to burst.
