January 8, 2025 7:26 am

Crews from Pennsylvania American Water company were called to a large water main break in Chartiers Township Wednesday morning.  Washington County 9-1-1 dispatchers tell WJPA News it happened around five o’clock at North Main Street and Museum Road.  Traffic through the area was reduced to a single lane and the gushing water was shut off before 7:30 a.m.  Officials with Pennsylvania American Water said in an emailed statement that the break was repaired and all service was restored.  They said the break was due to an old pipe line.  Eighteen customers were left without service until around ten-thirty, when final repairs were made.
