A security guard who was in the area at the time of the break told Channel 11 News that it sounded like a bomb went off. He then saw water spewing several feet into the air.
A Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority spokesperson said the break happened in a 12-inch water main. Repairs are expected to take most of the day.
