A water main break sent water flowing down a road in Pittsburgh’s Brighton Heights neighborhood Monday morning.
The break in a 16-inch water main was reported on Brighton Road.
Water gushed from under the road and flowed toward Woods Run Avenue.
Crews are working to make repairs.
Work is not expected to be completed until about 1 a.m. Tuesday.
“We are working as hard as we can to get it repaired and water back on as soon as we can,” John Leckie, Pennsylvania Water and Sewer Authority, said.
A water buffalo has been placed at the intersection of Brighton Road and Woods Run Avenue for affected customers.
