SOUTHWICK – About 75 homes at the intersection of Babb Road and Point Grove Road, right near Nora’s Restaurant and also including the Lakewood Village apartments, were without water due to a water main break around 1 a.m. Saturday morning.

Crews from the Southwick Water Department worked on the break and were able to restore water back online in the homes shortly after 9 a.m. on Saturday.
On Monday, DPW Director Randy Brown said there still hasn’t been an official cause of the water main break but one possibility could have been the age of the pipe.
These types of incidents do occur a few times a year, Brown said, but, for now, an actual cause hasn’t been determined.
“We’re going to look into it and see what we can do to prevent it from happening again,” said Brown.
If anyone has any questions or comments about the water main break or any other project or incident involving the Southwick DPW, give them a call at 413-569-3040.
