Water main break disrupts service in Highland Park

A water main break has disrupted service for multiple households in Pittsburgh’s Highland Park neighborhood Friday morning.

The break to the 12-inch line occurred at North Highland Avenue and Bryant Street, Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority said.

The agency said crews are on the scene to make needed repairs. Customers within a five-block area of the break either had no water or low pressure, PWSA officials said. Some residents said the break appeared to happen Thursday night.

Service was expected to be restored this afternoon.

PWSA said it would provide updates as they become available.
