Crews finished repairing a waterline break along Edna Road in Hempfield on Saturday night, according to the Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County.
The waterline break was reported at about 3 p.m. Friday, leaving about 60 customers without water service. The repair was completed around 7:30 Saturday evening, according to MAWC spokesman Matt Junker.
“We (needed) to replace a section and put a valve in,” Junker said on Saturday.
The break occurred near the intersection of Edna Road and Route 136.
“It’s a 2-foot pipe, so it’s substantial,” Junker said. “It’s pretty deep, and it’s a complicated replacement.”
Water buffaloes for those affected by the break, along with bottled water, were available at the Adamsburg Fire Department, 495 Edna Road in Hempfield.
