Water service has been restored around 4 p.m. to about 50 homes and a half-dozen retail businesses in the Nottingham section of Baltimore County.
Baltimore Public Works spokesman Kurt Kocher said a broken 12-inch water main was discovered about 5 a.m. Tuesday on the north side of Belair Road between Dunfield Road and Klosterman Avenue.
The northbound lanes of Belair Road will remain closed between Dunfield Road and Klosterman Avenue until weather conditions permit resurfacing of the road, he said.
Businesses affected by the loss of water included a BJ's Warehouse, a Burger King restaurant and a Bob Evans restaurant.
