BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. — Rushing water from a main break in Bridgeville washed away part of a home’s foundation early Monday morning, and damaged several other homes.
Officials said a line ruptured around 4:30 a.m. on Hunters Path Road.
Graham Hoffman and his mother were inside their home when he said they felt the foundation start to crumble.
“We heard a crack and everything falling. It sounded like something fell in,” Hoffman said.
Hoffman said he and his mother grabbed their dog and ran out of the house.
“I’m happy we were all about to get out safe and then there’s nothing we can do. We just have to deal with it,” Hoffman said. “It’s not the end of the world -- everybody’s still alive.”
Five other homes were damaged from the water and about 100 customers were left without service.
Pennsylvania American Water crews worked to repair the line and service was restored to customers by 2:30 p.m.
