Water crews continue to try and fix a massive water main break in the Lincoln Place section of the city.

Water crews are installing two 30-inch valves to redirect the water around the broken pipe while it is repaired.

Munhall Borough leaders said nearly 1,000 people are without water service. Others may have low water pressure.

Pittsburgh City Council President Doug Shields is calling for a state investigation.

He said the problem should have been taken care of sooner.

Pittsburgh American Water crews said they are not sure when the repairs will be completed.


Water Tanker Stations:
Water stations have been set up at the following locations:
  • The Mifflin Manor high-rise at the Duquesne Village Shopping Center

  • The Homeville Fire Department along Green Springs Avenue

  • The Carolina Avenue high rise in Munhall

  • Firehouse No. 4 in Munhall

  • And the city of Pittsburgh has a water tanker at the corner of Interboro and Mifflin near the site of the break
