WEST HARTFORD — Cold weather can create havoc with water pipes, as residents in West Hartford and Plymouth are finding out.
The Metropolitan District Commission said that a water main break on Cassilis Road in West Hartford interrupted service to 19 homes from #26 Cassilis Road to Webster Hill Boulevard. Service was restored to residents by 12:23 p.m., said the MDC.
Another water main break on Burnham Road was confirmed by the MDC and was shut down around 9:30 a.m. Service was restored to those residents impacted by 4:49 p.m.
This break is just blocks away from a break earlier this week on Webster Hill Blvd that affected a 31 homes and a school. West Hartford has dealt with no fewer than five water main breaks over the past week.
Meanwhile the Connecticut Water Company is dealing with a water main break in the Terryville section of Plymouth.
The problem was first reported about 6 a.m. and the company had some trouble locating the leak, but by about 8 a.m. had isolated it to the area of Makara and Main Streets in town.
Service was restored to all Terryville customers affected at 6 p.m. Saturday evening.
