Dozens of residents and businesses along Webster Avenue left without power and gas service Wednesday morning.

These outages come following the major water main break on Monday night.

The flooding sent cars under water and caused major damages for businesses on the block.

Crews were on the scene are working to make repairs on the 48-inch water main break.

Response teams told News 12 the gas and power were shut off to make the repairs safely.

When News 12 called Con Edison to request an estimated restoration time, they said an update would be provided later Wednesday morning. The spokesperson noted gas restoration typically takes longer than electric.

Three months earlier, Bedford Park residents were left without gas for months, following a massive gas main rupture on Bedford Park Boulevard. That scene is just one block from the water main break.

According to Con Edison, the infrastructure suffered extensive damage, and some buildings accumulated 15 feet of water.

Officials say the city is working with individual building owners to make repairs on both electric and gas lines. Con Ed says it cannot provide an update until the repairs are made.
