BOSTON — Blossom Street from Charles Street near Storrow Drive up to William Cardinal O'Connell Way were closed this morning in both directions because of a large water main break, according to police.
"The incident at Blossom Street this morning was a 12 “ privately-owned fire pipe, not a BWSC water main," according to Boston Water officials.
Officials said after an investigation, it appears the break was on a service pipe. Boston Water and Sewer crew said they have scheduled repairs for Wednesday evening to mitigate impact on commute.
