Water main break shoots water into the air along Geyser Road in Robinson Township

A water main break in Robinson Township caused water to shoot into the air this morning.

The break was along Geyser Road and Glass Road, which is located not far from the Parkway West.

It happened around 5:42 a.m., according to officials. The water was turned off by 7 a.m.

The Municipal Authority of Robinson Township told Channel 11 they’ve been called to that area quite a few times over the years.

They said there is a lot of pressure there, possibly from old mines in the area. While there are homes there, they said it’s more of an industrial area.

A police vehicle was blocking the road but has since cleared.
