The break happened on Wednesday morning, Dec. 28 in Port Chester along New Broad Street behind Neri’s Bakery, according to village officials. 

Despite efforts to divert water from the break, some of the runoff reached Westchester Avenue and flowed through the streets in the area. This prompted officials to warn drivers of potential icy conditions. 

"Please exercise caution when driving downtown this morning as running water and low temperatures can cause for frozen street conditions," officials said. 

Officials added that repair crews would be in the area to make a repair starting around 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
