Water Main Break Closes Center City Intersection

Water poured into the street early Wednesday morning, forcing authorities to close the intersection as crews worked to repair a broken main.

The break occurred around 2 a.m. at 7th and Locust streets, according to police, who blocked the roadway.

Philadelphia Water Department workers, who headed to the scene around 2:45 a.m, were still working to repair the main two hours later.
