(Ambridge, Pa.) There continues to be a Water issues in Ambridge this morning. Water Buffalos will be available at the Ambridge Fire Department starting at 8 AM this morning for those who are serviced by the Ambridge Water Authority who are in need of water.
The problem started yesterday around 5 a.m. there was a break inside the treatment plant and crews were unable to stop treated water from flowing back into the plant. 8,000 customers were left without service in Ambridge and parts of Harmony Township.
The water authority contracted a company to come in and build two valves to isolate the plant and pump water out to customers. The Authority said that they found that two of their man pumps had been flooded in about 30 feet of water for nearly eight hours, damaging the motors.
Now with the flooding under control, the water authority has since been able to get water flowing to customers from a reserve tank in Ambridge and two more in Economy. As service is restored, all customers are under a boil water advisory and are being told to conserve water while the authority works to get everything running as normal.
