I’ll start with the bad news. Many residents in the New Castle area had their morning commutes a little messed up. A broken water main caused a concentrated shower along Delaware’s Route 40 before the sun had even come up (around 5 a.m.). Repair workers responded to the scene quickly and attempted to figure out a way to stop the water.

Crews are investigating what led to this water main break in New Castle County, Delaware. Chopper 3 was over what looked like a geyser along Route 40 eastbound at Wilton Boulevard in Hares Corner. It first started spewing water around 5 a.
