SARANAC LAKE — The village Department of Public Works closed down Bloomingdale Avenue from Margaret Street to Pine Street Tuesday while it works on fixing a busted water main.

Village Manager John Sweeney said the broken pipe was reported around 10 a.m., and crews worked on it all throughout the afternoon.

“It was leaking through the road,” he said.

At 4 p.m., DPW workers were fixing pipes in front of the Belvedere Restaurant.

Sweeney said that particular area of Bloomingdale Avenue has had water main issues in the past.

“Anything that’s been in the ground for 50 to 100 years is going to be a problem area,” he said.
