More than 700 PWSA customers in Pittsburgh’s Troy Hill neighborhood were expected to be without water or have low water pressure Sunday night because of a water main break, and other breaks were reported in Homestead and West Mifflin.
Officials with Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority and Pennsylvania American Water Co. attributed the breaks to record-low temperatures Sunday that preceded a warming trend that expected to continue through Wednesday.
The line breaks included one on Lowrie Street in Troy Hill that crews were working to fix Sunday night, according to Rachel Rampa, public affairs coordinator for PWSA.
