Water restored in Norristown after main break impacted nearly 100 customers

Water has been restored in Norristown, Montgomery County, after a main break impacted nearly 100 customers.

The intersection of DeKalb and Elm streets was closed as Pennsylvania American Water worked on repairs.

PAW distributed bottled water to residents impacted by the loss of service, and people in the area could bring their own containers to fill with potable water from a portable tank located at 1007 DeKalb Street.

Once the repairs are finished, PAW says residents might notice some discoloration in their water.

"If your water is discolored, run the cold water taps only, at the lowest level of the house for about three to five minutes until the water runs clear," the company said. "You will not receive any further notification unless additional action is required or conditions change."
