“I saw the Earth cracking.” That’s what Julie Farthing, owner of Julie’s Hair Haven, said she witnessed before water flooded the intersection of Fourth and Main streets Thursday afternoon in Monongahela. Pennsylvania American Water Company crews were called to the area around 4 p.m. Thursday for an emergency repair. The company said a 12-inch cast iron line broke, causing water to rush into the street as well as properties that were in its path. Crews worked early into Friday morning to restore water service and get the break under control.
