Schenectady Police have closed Union Street, in both directions, due to a water main break. The street is closed from Lafayette St. to Barrett St.

Water has been shut off in that area and will affect residents and businesses.

Crews are working to repair the water main break and say they don't know how long the process will take.

UPDATE: Water main break on Union street has been fixed. It was about 6inches, and caused substantial damage. The break is a private business owners problem, it was located on The Creative Advantage Inc's property. Union between Lafayette and Barrett will be open to traffic, but it may be slow going. The private business owner will now need to hire a plumber and fix the damage

Pretty weird for a residents water main break to need about 50 to 100 foot of 6 to 8 inch pipe and a 20 by 30 foot wide 12 foot deep hole in a intersection.  Just sayin'

  gotta blame someone... must be the 1/2 football field sized lateral....6 inch pipe can carry lots of water



we had a 6"inch main supply pipe break near us when we lived in colonie took out our driveway{40+feet swallowed 5 feet down} in about 2 min. and filled our basement in about another 2...the mess was incredible

Gee, not all that far from the project that destroyed that Union Inn buiding.

Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent.  
Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and
speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

it will turn into a 'consolidation' conversation......neighborly duty and FEES to match....


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
