Water Main Breaks Affecting Traffic in Enfield

There were several water main breaks in Enfield this morning, which caused problems for the morning commute.

Police set up detours and were directing traffic around the areas near Route 5 by Franklin Street and Elm Street by Summer Street.

Route 5 by Franklin has reopened and one lane of Elm Street is now open.

Dispatchers said the water main breaks happened yesterday afternoon, but repair crews ran into major problems with the shut-off valves, so the repair took a while.
