Water Gushes from Manhole on Germantown Pike

Water bubbled up and gushed from a manhole cover on Germantown Pike at approximately 6:40 p.m. Wednesday, closing the eastbound lane of the roadway near its intersection with Virginia Road.

As of 7 p.m., Plymouth Police told Patch that the township's sewer crew and employees from utility provider Aqua PA were en route to determine the cause of the problem and find a solution. Police at the scene said the exact same overflow occurred at the location approximately two weeks ago.

Traffic on the road appeared to be light, with no significant delays.

Check back with Patch for updates.

Ambler Patch editor Leann Pettit reported from the scene.
