It’s unknown at this time how many residents may be experiencing water service interruptions in the area.
DEP employees were at the location late Monday afternoon as water could be seen steadily cascading down Spring Street onto nearby Richmond Road.
The flooding could create a road safety hazard as it freezes over the coming days, with temperatures expected to remain below freezing through the week.
