Springfield residents who drank water that was potentially contaminated from a major water main break in the city on Tuesday have been cautioned to seek medical care if they don’t feel well, according to town officials.

Mayor Domenic Sarno declared a state of emergency in the city on Wednesday, Sept. 13, after a large break was found in a 36″, high-pressure water main in the woods on Tuesday afternoon, behind the Big Y on St. James Avenue, as a result of Monday night’s storms.
