By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - A broken pipe caused water to come rushing down the side of a parking garage in downtown Pittsburgh.

Water could be seen cascading down the Stanwix Street garage early Wednesday morning. The on-site manager of the garage said the break happened on the 12th floor in the southwest corner of the building.

The fire department was called, as well as other maintenance personnel.

They were able to fix the sprinkler head that started the problem.

Due to the rushing water, the sidewalk in front of the garage became very icy. Rock salt was spread to try and melt the ice.

The garage remained open.
