PHILADELPHIA - Residents in Philadelphia's Queen Village neighborhood are still feeling the impact of a massive water main break impacted hundreds of homes last summer.
Officials from the Philadelphia Water Department said a 30-inch water main ruptured near the intersection of 6th and Bainbridge streets on July 25.
Crews arrived shortly after water began gushing onto the street and shut off the water supply. Personnel from the Office of Emergency Management and Philadelphia Fire Dept.
aided residents and assess the damage. The rupture completely flooded surrounding streets and sent water rushing into the basements of nearby homes and businesses.Six months later, the Philadelphia Water Department held a Zoom meeting to assure residents that the lingering repairs will get done. "Our furnace was never replaced, they were supposed to do this, and it never happened," one resident said during the meeting.
