Crews from the Pennsylvania American Water Company are expected to begin work today on a leak to the 12-inch line in the heart of Mt. Lebanon's business district. Water is bubbling through to the surface of the road in at least two spots where Washington Road meets Castle Shannon Boulevard.
"They will begin around 9 a.m. and work until it's finished," said Stephen Feller, Mt. Lebanon municipal manager. Compounding traffic woes for inbound commuters is work that began down the block last week. Equitable Gas is replacing a line in the area and the six-month project currently is tearing up part of the street in front of Mt. Lebanon's municipal offices.
UPDATE: Mt. Lebanon Businesses Left Dry

This water line break was pumping out a fountain of water on Washington road as early as Saturday night. So much water was pouring through that the manhole and a crack on the side of the road where acting as fountains. The cold temps turned all of that water to ice which then required a salt truck to dump a ton of salt on the intersection. And now because the situation was not fixed promptly the businesses on Washington road suffer. Who pays for the thousands (maybe millions) of gallons of water that spewed out, the salt, and the lost business revenue?
