SPRINGFIELD — Work is nearly complete repairing the washout and water main rupture off St. James and Liberty streets.

In September, parts of Massachusetts got seven to 10 inches of rain and particularly heavy storms delivered four inches of rain Sept. 11 to 13. The storm washed out a culvert and caused a burst in a 36-inch high-pressure water main in the woods behind the Big Y Plaza on Liberty Street.
