Cold and ice make for tough water repair in White Haven
Top left, water flows up from under Main and Susquehanna Streets on Thursday evening, with some of the flow bubbling as much as 4ʺ high above the road. Cracks were opening up in the asphalt. Bottom left, Water pours out from the manhole at edge of the Lehigh Gorge State Park parking lot, creating a muddy flow. At one point, a small wave of water was coming up Main Street. Top, looking down into the site of the water main break
on Friday, the water main is to the right, and a valve that had been attached, along with the broken pipe, have been removed ahead of some tough work getting the pieces back together, and the water turned back on. Inset is the broken valve. By the end of the day, the site was still a bit muddy, but the water was on and the hole filled with gravel, to be repaired in the spring.
