WATCH: Water Main Break Turns East Hartford Corner into Fountain

An intersection in East Hartford looks more like a fountain than a residential corner after a water main break on Monday afternoon.

The break is sending water into the air at the intersection of School and Tolland streets, forcing some road closures.

Tolland Street is closed between School Street and Williams Street and police are asking drivers to use Burnside Avenue as a detour until the situation is resolved.

Crews from MDC are at the scene and are working to repair the broken water main.

Water service might be affected during the repairs.
