    About 30 minutes after City crews turned off water feeding the mall, another break developed on Burke’s Road causing flooding in the Broadway area and some residents were without water.

    Two separate water breaks have caused a disruption in the downtown area of Corner Brook. On Saturday, a busted pipe in the Millbrook Mall parking lot caused localized flooding and led to the mall’s closure.  It’s not clear at this time how much damage there is, however water has entered the building and made its way to the lower level. Mall management has said the mall will be closed until further notice. Meanwhile, about 30 minutes after City crews turned off water feeding the mall, another break developed on Burke’s Road causing flooding in the Broadway area and some residents were without water.
