DEWITT, NY - A water main break at ShoppingTown Mall in DeWitt has caused several businesses to close today, including the CNY Gym Centre, which is next to what used to be Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Officials from the town of DeWitt water department said the break was inside mall.

The businesses in the wing extending from what used to be Dick’s all the way down to the former Sears were affected.

One embroidery business remained open, but officials from CNY Gym Centre said they had to cancel classes because they had no water.

Some mall workers said there had been mud on the floor, but it has since been cleaned up.

Rite Aid employees said the store also had no water, but the ShoppingTown Regal Cinema was open and said they had water.

Tape cordoned off the wet section of the floor, and standing water remained on some sections of the floor. Large fans were drying out the section, and workers were operating a backhoe inside the affected section.

No one could be reached from mall management to comment, but CNY Gym Centre officials said they were told it would be fixed by morning.
