PORTLAND (AP) — The entire peninsula of Portland, including the city’s downtown, is under a boil-water order because of a water main break.

The water main break Wednesday on Somerset Street, near Whole Foods, flooded the road with water that reached a depth that topped headlights of parked cars.

Two elementary schools had to close for the day.

The Portland Press Herald said a small area was without water altogether and other residents on the peninsula that includes the Eastern Prom, downtown, Old Port and Western Prom were advised to boil tap water before consuming. The order was in effect until Wednesday night.
