PHILADELPHIA (CBS) –  The water department reported a leak near 30th Street Station Sunday afternoon. The Market Frankford Line was operating with shuttle buses between 15th Street and 40th Street Stations, SEPTA announced via social media.

The water main break has since been placed under control and trains, trolleys and the MFL are running again as of Monday morning, SEPTA says.

The Philadelphia Water Department responded to the reported leak a little before 3 p.m. Sunday and shut down a 16-inch water main.

Residents and local businesses had their water shut off for some time but service has since been restored, officials say

Trains were operating between 69th Street Transportation Center and 40th Street Station and also between Frankford Transportation Center and 15th Street. SEPTA responded with shuttle buses to transport customers from 40th Street Station to 15th Street Station.

If customers are still experiencing loss of water or other impacts in the area, they should call (215) 685-6300 and report the incident.
