According to this article, the water main break happened at around 11 a.m. on Tuesday on Weston Canal Road and Apgar Drive.  As a result, the police were forced to close the road between School House Road and Apgar Drive.  Though water pressure has been restored to the municipalities affected by the break, repairs are still being made to the water main.  It is still unknown what exactly caused the water main to rupture.
