City officials said there was a scheduled repair for Wednesday night for a leak but the water main broke before the repair could be completed.

Water was flowing out onto the streets following a heavy snowfall that hit a large swath of southern Ontario. City officials said with the snow build up in the catch basins it is not able to drain.

Peel Regional Police were seen blocking off the roads and said they are there to ensure traffic is being diverted away from the water main break.
