A stretch of Main Street is a complete mess after a water main break Friday afternoon that has shut down roads in the area.
The city says it happened around 3 p.m. while crews installed underground piping at the North End Wastewater Treatment Plant. The break caused a change in water flow which can stir up existing sediment in water pipes and cause discoloured water.
