A mid-morning water main break resulted in a road closure in New Rochelle on Monday.<\/p>\n
The water main break happened on Stephenson Boulevard and there was a temporary road closure near Palmer Avenue.<\/p>\n
Officials tell News 12 the cold weather conditions likely were a factor in the main break. <\/p>\n
They say this is the time of the year when they see this happening more frequently. <\/p>\n
“The ground as it freezes, is swelling. It’s basically squeezing the pipes,” says Sophia Salis, who is with Veolia New York.<\/p>\n
This is also when officials say they get more calls for pipes bursting inside homes during frigid temperatures.<\/p>\n
“Keep the cabinets open so the piping underneath can get some of the ambient warmth of the house and just keep their faucet on a light trickle, that can really help,” Salis explains to News 12. <\/p>\n
