Water poured onto multiple streets, originating from a hole on Rutherford Avenue.

Several houses flooded and the sidewalk and road buckled.

Neighbors used mulch in an effort to stop the water from getting in.

The water was shut off after nearly four hours. Penn American Water crews had a hard time locating the shutoff valve.

It disrupted service to around 25 homes, but it has since been restored.

Cleanup is underway for the homes that were flooded at the bottom of the hill.
