Chelsea Street Flooded After Water Main Break
CHELSEA (CBS) -- Sagamore Avenue in Chelsea was shut down Saturday morning after a water main broke. Water was initially shut off but it has since been restored to all but a block or two, according to Police Chief Brian Kyes.
He said, "initially the water rushed out of the [12" main] break so fast...that it drained all the pipes."
MBTA buses in the area were rerouted.
