Water service has been restored to a portion of Dravosburg following an outage and an early-morning water main break.

The break happened along Route 837 near the Jordan Banana Foodservice Distributing company, McKeesport's police chief told KDKA-TV.

The business's owner told KDKA-TV that they experienced "brown water" inside the business and reported it to Pennsylvania American Water at the end of last week, around Thursday or Friday. 

"It happens every time it rains pretty heavy," said Dravosburg resident Cory Harding. 

Whether rainy weather caused this or not, residents with no water faced a morning without a bare necessity.

"(it's) very frustrating. Especially whenever you have to flush a toilet, brush your teeth, clean dishes, or do laundry. We just can't," Harding added.

Pennsylvania American said that people living in the borough may experience discolored or cloudy water, low water pressure, or no water.

"When work is completed, you may experience temporary changes in your water," Pennsylvania American said. "For discoloration, run cold water at the lowest level of your house. For cloudy water, run water at the highest level of your house."

Pennsylvania American said that the water should clear after running for three to five minutes.

Landlords with water service in their name are asked to alert their tenants to they are aware that their service is being impacted.

Residents in Dravosburg said they want more reliability from the resource that keeps life flowing, but is now keeping their lives upended.

"I hope they fix it because I don't really want to live like this," Harding added.

When KDKA-TV asked what the cause of the water main break was, a spokesperson replied, stating, "Typically, it's not feasible to speculate on the cause of a water main break, as various factors can lead to such incidents. We continually assess our inventory and evaluate factors like the condition of lines, frequency of leaks, fire protection, and system demands to prioritize infrastructure investments."
