DUNMORE — Repairs are complete after a problem at a water plant in Dunmore impacted service to thousands of customers.
While some people still don’t have water, others–including residents in parts of the Abingtons–should boil their water until further notice.
A spokesperson for Pennsylvania American Water said repairs were completed Saturday night at the plant on Mill Street in Dunmore.
Service should be back on for all customers by Sunday morning.
For people who spent the day dealing with water problems, things can’t get back to normal soon enough.
"So we had to take a few trips to the water buffalo."
"We’re going to go to the gym and work out and take a shower there for now and take it from there," said Carissa Stout of Dunmore.
At the Chestnut Street Tavern, there was no water, so customers contented themselves with beer.
