Water main breaks on Watertown’s Stone Street

WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) - Watertown officials say a water main break on Stone Street on Monday was affecting several parts of the city.

The break in the 100 block happened around noon and crews were working to fix it.

Planned Parenthood’s Watertown Health Center closed for the rest of the day.

Anyone experiencing discolored water following repairs should run cold-water faucets for two to three minutes, shut the water off, allow the water to settle for about 15 minutes, and run the water again for two to three minutes.

If it doesn’t run clear, repeat the process. Do not run the hot water faucets until the cold water runs clear.

If the water does not become clear after repeating this process multiple times, contact city crews at 315-785-7757.
