MIDDLETOWN, Conn. — Water service has been fully restored after a "major" water main break Friday evening, which flooded parts of Main Street and Court Street in Middletown, according to fire officials.
All water service was restored Saturday morning, including to the handful of businesses that were without water Friday evening, officials said.
Water customers do not need to boil water or avoid use, city officials said.
The break was first noticed Friday afternoon when the area of Main and Court streets started to flood. It took crews about 17 hours to get to the source of the break, remove the broken pipe and restore water service, officials said.
The intersection has since reopened.
The pipe that broke was original infrastructure from 1895, according to city officials.
Anyone with remaining water issues is asked to call 860-685-3500.
