A water main break flooded the basements of several businesses on Main Street in downtown Bangor on Wednesday morning.
The break happened sometime before 9 a.m. on Main Street, Assistant Fire Chief Chandler Corriveau said. The flood extended from Nocturnem Draft Haus at 56 Main St. to at least Treworgy & Baldacci at 46 Main St.
The fire department is waiting on additional keyholders to see if the water went farther. The basement of StayGold, at 38 Main St., was dry, Corriveau said.
Water came in fast after the break happened, Corriveau said. The fire department rescued as many files and items as possible.
It’s unclear what caused the break at this time, he said.
