The break caused water to shoot 20-feet into the air, according to neighbors. Once the water was turned off, a giant hole was visible in the street.
Gary Lobaugh, a spokesman for Pennsylvania American Water, said 25 customers were without service.
Service was restored to those customers shortly before 11 a.m. Wednesday.
