Five days after a major water main broke on the Thomaston-Waterbury town line, repairs are complete and the stretch of road has reopened, according to the Thomaston Police Department.
Police said the break happened Saturday, Feb. 14 and crews had to order a replacement pipe from another state before they fix it.
According to Waterbury water superintendent Chris Bogucki, customers supplied by the broken main received their water from the town service station while repairs were underway.
The area along the town line where Waterbury Road becomes Thomaston Avenue was closed for five days while crews worked to fix the break. Drivers were detoured onto Routes 8 and 262.
According to Thomaston police, the road had reopened by about 5:45 p.m. Thursday.
