Water main break threatens to flood several houses

CARNEGIE, Pa. — A six-inch water main break sent water running down a Carnegie road and threatened to flood nearby homes.

The break was reported at the intersection of Fifth Street and Diamond Alley about 3 a.m. Friday.

The water company quickly responded, shut off the water and is working on fixing the break

At least a dozen homes are without water, and officials haven’t said how long it will be until their water is restored.
