Crews worked last night into this morning to fix two water main breaks in Nassau County.
Massapequa Water District Superintendent Kevin Reilly said they were alerted to a beak on Merrick Road between Biltmore Boulevard and Alhambra Road around 10 p.m. Tuesday.
Repairs were completed and the road reopened just before 6 a.m. today.
Water officials said the extreme cold weather caused the break, so they hired a contractor to excavate the road, locate the break and repair it.
Six customers were affected, water officials said.
About 10 minutes away in Wantagh, viewer video showed crews making repairs on Waterbury Drive and Wantagh Avenue last night.
News 12 reached out to Liberty Water for more details, but we have not heard back at this time.
These are the latest in a series of water main breaks that have affected communities all across Long Island this winter, particularly in the last few weeks.
On Sunday, a water main broke on Lakeshore Drive in
Massapequa Park and on Tuesday, Jan. 27, a water main break in
Copiague on Oak Street affected more than 50 people.
Officials mainly blamed the ongoing extremely cold temperatures for the issues.
