BOSTON (WHDH) - The work to repair a massive water main break that flooded a neighborhood in Jamaica Plain on Saturday continues as residents assess damage to their waterlogged homes.
Crews could be seen working in a large hole on Heath Street where the water main break was located. Residents in nearby homes had to be evacuated while repairs were underway.
A day after the flood, many residents returned home to find their basements seriously damaged.
Roberto Vilalta showed 7NEWS the high-water mark on a door in his basement.
Most of the items in his basement, he says, will be going out in the trash.
Now that the section of pipe has been replaced, a contractor is set to return to the area on Monday to repair the damaged roadway.
