Advisory after water main break in Elrama
A boil water advisory is in effect for nearly 100,000 Pennsylvania American Water customers in Allegheny and Washington counties. This follows a significant water main break in Elrama late Friday night, which caused flooding and damage, especially affecting the Elrama Volunteer Fire Company. The advisory was issued due to a power surge that depleted water storage at the Aldrich Water Treatment plant, potentially causing contamination through backflow.
