Anyone still without water?

UPDATE: Baptist Road has reopened in all directions.

I remember one time that happened right by my house and I was the first house downhill of it. It took the water company a LONG time to shut it off. OMG, my house was under water. My basement was flooded. It knocked down two retaining walls. What a MESS. I will never forget that. It is amazing the damage a waterbreak can do, and flash flooding.

I remember that incident too. That was crazy. I remember standing barefoot in the street as the water gushed past my feet. A lot of force behind that!

Last week, I slide on ice in front of one of those house right after you make the bend. Scared myself half to death. Thank God, there was enough for me to slide and not hit the guy in front of me. As I continued to see ice there every day, I had a feeling this would happen. When I lived in Penn Hills, the house we lived in we noticed that happening too. My mom had called the water authority and they fixed it before the break became a huge mess.

This was no water gushing break that burst through the road, Last week I saw a PAWC worker marking the water lines in the street. They knew that they were going to dig up the road for a repair and didnot tell the resdients. They did not start work until after 11am, I came home from work at 4 pm to find my water shut off. I have 5 kids in my house. We had to orderr out because we could not cook. I had to carry buckets of water from the hydrand at grove to flush my tolets. PAWC knew they were going to do this and did not give us residents a chance to prepair.

wow vince. sorry to hear that. hope your family has a better night tonight.

Vince, does the water company have your phone number? PAWC always calls me and leaves a message when anything in the area might disrupt my service. I think they will also send messages to I phones or such devices, not sure, but a call to PAWC should provide specifics.

Just like the privilege never gets asked for photo ID when they fly, go to the doctors or hospital, gets xrays or blood work done they are the only one that gets a personal phone call when water is being shut off. Do I believe any of this bull no, but get a laugh as they live in fantasy land. Maybe Robert needs to do a survey on how many people get a call from PAWC when there is a water main break.
