SCRANTON, Pa. — Sub-freezing temperatures and piles of snow are making it difficult for water crews working on a main break in Scranton.
Pennsylvania American Water says a 16-inch main burst just before 8 a.m. Friday on Wyoming Avenue near Olive Street.
A repair crew had to dig through the mounds of snow first to try and find the valves needed to isolate the break before they could get to work. Crews are working at the intersection of Olive and Penn Avenue.
Officials with Pennsylvania American Water say about 60 customers are affected by the break. They hope to complete repairs by Friday evening.
