BLOOMFIELD, Conn. (WTNH) -- A sinkhole created by a water main break is causing a few problems in Bloomfield Wednesday morning.

It's happening on East Euclid St.

We don't know what caused the main to break, but police say they have closed down a section of East Euclid.

Ten homes were affected.

Crews were also busy making repairs to two water main breaks in Hartford.

The first one happened on Cornwall Street when a 6 inch pipe from 1924 broke. The road has been shut down. Only two homes are without water.

The second break is on Durham Street. The road has been shut down between Lyme and Palm Streets. Sixteen homes were affected when the pipe from 1929 cracked.

Repairs on both are expected to repaired in 4-6 hours.
