Water main erupts on West Wayne Street

A water main erupted in downtown Butler on Sunday.

Pennsylvania American Water Works Service Company advised that its crews began making emergency repairs to a main line break at 10:20 a.m. on West Wayne and surrounding streets. A portion of West Wayne was closed to traffic.

Residents were advised that they may experience discolored or cloudy water, low water pressure, or no water. Repair trucks were at the site, alongside the Butler Eagle, all day and left at 7:19 p.m.

Customers were further advised that they may experience discolored water, and that they should run the cold water taps only, at the lowest level of the house for about three to five minutes until the water runs clear.
