CANTON, New York (WWNY) - A break in the water main which supplies water to the village of Canton Saturday has forced a shutdown of County Route 27 between Barnes Road and Hale Road.

The detour is expected to last up to 12 hours, town officials said shortly before 3 PM.

The break will have minimal impact for most people in the Canton area, officials said. There are fewer than 10 homes in the area of the break, and the village’s water tanks are full, so there is at least a few days’ water supply on hand.

The water main in question brings water to he village from a well systcem on Waterman Hill.
