SHALER TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A water main break sent water gushing from under a street, ripping it apart, in Shaler Township early Friday morning.
Officials said the break occurred in a 16-inch line on Parker Street. It was reported about 12:30 a.m.
Chunks of pavement were seen broken up and scattered on the street in the area where the break happened.
A replacement pipe was brought in as crews dug a hole in the road and pumped out water. Repairs were completed around noon.
Some people along Parker Street lost service.
