WEST HARTFORD — Fern Street was closed for hours Monday between Troutbrook Drive and Robin Road due to a significant water main break, according to police.
The road has since reopened.
Kerry Martin of the The Metropolitan District said an 8-inch water main break was found in a main that was installed in 1928. The main had to be shut down at 7 a.m.
Eight properties were affected by the shutdown from 392 Fern Street to Ballard Drive.
Water was restored around 3 p.m.
