The Portland Water District spent part of Thursday dealing with another water main break, this time in Westbrook.
The district this week has responded to multiple breaks in Portland and Gorham that cut off water to customers, lowered water pressure and caused traffic detours and delays.
The break in Westbrook was reported Thursday morning on Stroudwater Street. The break, which did not affect any customers, was repaired by 11:30 a.m.
On Wednesday, a water main broke on outer Congress Street in Portland near the Westbrook line, delaying traffic along the heavily traveled corridor. At the same time, crews were working to repair water main breaks on Brighton Avenue and Colonial Road, also in Portland. About 30 households near the Colonial Road break were without water for the day.
A significant water main break in Gorham reported Tuesday resulted in low water pressure for customers in several communities, including Portland and South Portland. That break was in a 30-inch main and is expected to be repaired Thursday.
