(Aliquippa, PA) Crews in Aliquippa worked today to restore water service to the remaining customers affected by multiple water main breaks that occurred yesterday. According to the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa, it was refilling storage tanks to resume normal distribution after four separate breaks disrupted service. That authority also states that the number of people impacted by the breaks dropped to roughly 1,000 by this morning. About 22,000 people were impacted at the peak of the outage. Officials also urged residents to conserve water as the system stabilizes and they confirm that all four breaks have been repaired, even though crews are investigating a few areas after noticing wet spots this morning. The Aliquippa School District went to remote learning as water service was restored and district officials state that students are expected to return to in-person classes tomorrow if the repairs continue as planned.
