WPCNR EAST SIDE STORY. By John F. Bailey. October 28, 2006 UPDATED 12:15 PM EDT UPDATED 6:10 P.M. EDT: A water main break this morning shut off all water to The Westchester, White Plains posh mall on Bloomingdale Road. According to eyewitnesses, all bathrooms were closed, and The Food Court closed. Police confirmed there was a water main break.
The Department of Public Works reported they had a crew digging now at the location of the break and that they do not know the cause of the break.( "We won't know until we get down there," was the response.) At this time, the DPW said it appears The Westchester is the only location affected because they have not received any calls from any other locations in the area.
At 6 P.M., the White Plains Department of Public Works reported they were completing their work there to restore the water and "it should be back on tonight."
