UPPER SAINT CLAIR, Pa. — An estimated 75 Pennsylvania American Water Company customers were without service Tuesday evening because of a water main break along Route 19 in Upper St. Clair.

There were no reports of any homes or businesses damaged in the break that occurred around 4 p.m., water company spokeswoman Josephine Posti told Channel 11's news partners at TribLIVE. Most of the water rushed down the hillside and into a culvert, she said.

Water service was restored at about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday.
