Pennsylvania American Water Asking Customers to Conserve Water

A water-line break on Monday morning near the intersection of East Carson Street and Becks Run Road on the border of north  has prompted the Pennsylvania American Water Company to ask its customers to conserve water in order to maintain working storage levels.

All PA American Water customers in the southern part of Allegheny County are being asked to conserve, especially those in Baldwin Borough, , Castle Shannon Borough, Dormont Borough, Mt. Lebanon and Green Tree Borough. Residents in those municipalities may experience service interruptions, low water pressure and/or cloudy water.

Part of Becks Run was closed on Monday morning to repair the damaged water line but has since been reopened. Previous work on a new, 42-inch water main along Becks Run continues, though, causing single-lane, alternating-use traffic patterns from East Carson to Bajo Street.
