Water main break creates geyser in Observatory Hill

A water main break has created a geyser in Pittsburgh.

The break is in the 3900 block of Oakdale Street in Observatory Hill.

Channel 11 talked to Valerie Ash, whose home is one of a couple without water.

"When I saw this, I was just...I was just blown away. I couldn't believe it had gotten this big," said Ash.

Ash said PWSA told her it took them so long to respond to the break because their crew was patching a separate one across the city in Point Breeze.

Service should be restored sometime Wednesday morning.
