A contractor was working on a boiler at Paulus Hook Towers, a high-rise residential building located at 100 Montgomery St., when water "started spitting out all over the place," Fire Director Armando Roman said. As three feet of water flooded the basement, United Water shut off the building's water supply. Contractors have since "stabilized the situation" and water was restored as of noon yesterday, Roman said. SUMMER DAWN HORTILLOSA
