Troy's antiquated water main system (see above for an example) usually can be counted on to spring a leak several times a month. Here in September that pace has increased.
The Department of Public Works already had been called on to make some repairs earlier in the month, but today two different mains broke.
• Intersection of Thompson and Hopkins streets. Quality-of-Life Crews have managed the break and will fully fix it on Friday.
• Bottom of Stow Avenue and Hudson Street. Quality-of-Life Crews were on site tonight and hoped to finish repairs before morning.
Given that workers often run into unexpected complications doing repairs on the water system -- which is as much as 200 years old in some places, it's wise to plan alternate routes until the weekend.
