West Haven High School Dismissied Early

School officials said a minor crash caused the water main break.

West Haven High School dismissed at 11 a.m. Thursday after a newspaper delivery driver hit a fire hydrant in front on the building.

A post on the West Haven Public Schools Facebook page says buses will be on campus at 11 a.m. to transport students home and bagged lunches will be available for students.

A Facebook post from the school department said the crash caused a water main break, but officials from the water authority said someone drove into a hydrant.

The superintendent said the water main will need to be shut down so the school, the school’s ice rink and fields will have no water.

It’s not clear how long repairs will take, so the high school’s coaches , Youth Hockey programs and Adult Education officials have been notified there is a possibility their practices and/or classes might be cancelled.
