NEWTON, MASS. (WHDH) - Crews worked through the night and into Thursday morning to repair a major water main break in Newton.
The water main break that occurred on Needham Street around 2:30 p.m. bubbled out of the street and flowed into other areas leading to some traffic issues, according to the city’s Department of Public Works.
Officials located the source of the leak and temporarily turned off the water to that area.
