Water gushes through neighborhood after main breaks

McCANDLESS, Pa. — A water main break sent water gushing through a neighborhood in McCandless early Tuesday morning.

The break was reported about 4 a.m. on West Ingomar Road.

Water ran like a river down the road and through the yards of homes, knocking over trash cans and taking out a retaining wall.

“I grew up in Niagara Falls and it kind of reminds me of the off shoots of the falls,” Jeff Rook, who lives in the area, said.

Three homes on Donna Drive, which is below Ingomar Road, had their basements flooded.

The North Allegheny School District said the water main break did not impact any of its buildings and schools were open Tuesday.
