WESLEY HILLS - Police and emergency work crews are at the scene of a water main break near the corner of Route 202 at Wilder Road, according to United Water.
The break in the 16-inch main was reported shortly after 6 a.m. today, according to utility spokesman Steve Goudsmith
"With freezing temperatures, water main breaks are not uncommon this time of year," Goudsmith said.
Ramapo police were diverting traffic off Route 202.
The road was covered in ice near the site of the water main break.
Several customers in the area have reported low water pressure or no water service, Goudsmith said.
The utility will decide later in the day if it needs to issue a warning to boil water before using it.

DAILY DOSE:
The Image
How you treat others is how G-d treats you.
How you forgive them is how He forgives you.
How you see them is how He sees you.
When you show empathy for the plight of another human being,
G-d takes empathy in your plight.
When others slight you and you ignore the call to vengeance that burns inside,
 G-d erases all memory of your failures toward Him. When you see the image
of G-d in another human being, then the image of G-d becomes revealed within you.
Tzvi Freeman
