Water Main Break In Norrstown

NORRISTOWN, PA — A water main broke open in Norristown in the early hours of Wednesday morning, authorities said.

The incident occurred on the 700 block of Kohn Street before 7 a.m.

Pennsylvania American Water crews are currently on scene making emergency repairs, which they expect to be completed by 3 p.m.

When repairs are complete, nearby residents may see discolored or cloudy water, or low water pressure. It's possible some residents may have no water at all for a short time.

"For discoloration, run cold water at the lowest level of your house," American Water said. "For cloudy water, run water at the highest level of your house. The condition should clear after 3 to 5 minutes of running water."
