Several homeowners in Northeast Philadelphia woke up Wednesday to find their basements flooded after a water main broke overnight.

The 8-inch main broke near the intersection of Witler and Bowler streets in the Bustleton section of the city, spilling water into the street around 3:30 a.m., officials said.

No houses were evacuated, however water flooded basements and driveways -- inching above vehicle tires.
