NBC Boston footage exhibited a resulting large sinkhole, presenting authorities with considerable restoration efforts.
Located near the intersection of Frank Street, Lynn Road, and William Street, the water main break has formed a sinkhole and left numerous residents without a reliable water source, as detailed by NBC Boston and Boston 25 News.
