SEPTA Service Returns to Normal After Water Main Break Near 30th Street Station

A water main break near 30th Street Station impacted SEPTA service in Philadelphia Sunday.

The 16-inch water main broke along 29th and Market streets Sunday afternoon. Several properties in the area were without water and water flooded the tunnel for trolleys and trains on SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line.

The Philadelphia Water Department responded to the scene and shut down the water main. They worked to restore service to impacted properties.

Anyone living in the area who was still without water was asked to call 215-685-6300 immediately.

Shuttle buses operated in place of trains and trolleys between 15th Street and 40th Street stations due to the flooding.

However, service on the Market-Frankford subway and city trolley routes returned to normal in time for the Monday morning commute, SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch said.
