Repair work on a damaged water main has shut off water to approximately 24 homes and caused road closures in Milford, according to the South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority.
A six-inch water main located at the corner of Grove Street and New Haven Avenue in Milford failed and was repaired Thursday afternoon.
Maintenance work took up to six hours, during which time 24 customers were without water and others in the area might see discolored water, the RWA said.
The intersection was closed for the duration of the repair work. Detours from the Oyster River Bridge west to Anderson Avenue are in effect, even though they were initially scheduled to be discontinued at 3:30, according to the RWA.
