Two Water Main Breaks Repaired
Bradford Water Authority crews have been busy working on two water main breaks.
An 8-inch water main break happened at about 6 p.m. Monday on North Kendall Avenue near the railroad tracks and the entrance to American Refining Group.
That line was repaired at about 3 a.m., but crews from the railroad will be repairing damage for most of the day so North Kendall will remain closed until they are finished, according to water authority director Kim Benjamin.
At about midnight, a 6-inch water main broke on Fiske Avenue between Parkway Lane and Stone Avenue. It was repaired at about 8 a.m.
Benjamin says about half a dozen homes on Fiske Avenue were directly affected, and homes on Vista Avenue, Storm Circle and Orchard Place may have had disruptions as well.
“The water in that area may be turbid for a bit,” Benjamin said, adding that the lines have been flushed but people may notice minor discoloration until it gets back to normal.
