A water main break sent water gushing onto streets on Pittsburgh's South Side for several hours.
The break happened before 4 a.m. on Thursday near the intersection of Sarah Street and East Carson Street.
Water was seen bubbling from the ground below for over three hours.
Crews from Pittsburgh Water were seen working at the scene of the break, trying to get the water to stop flowing.
According to Pittsburgh Water, repairs have begun at about 9 a.m., and the break occurred on one of the transmission mains that brings water from the Highland II Reservoir to the Mission Pump Station.
