Water main break floods S.W. Phila. neighborhood
A 30-inch water main burst this morning in Southwest Philadelphia, flooding Lindbergh Boulvard in the Elmwood section.
The break was reported about 4:30 a.m. between S. 63rd and S. 64th Streets and Philadelphia Water Department shut off the flow about four hours later.
The break spewed a mix of water, mud, and gravel into the streets of the surrounding residential neighborhood, flooding basements and leaving residents with a clean up job.
One firefighter said the mud was so deep and thick he almost lost one of his boots.
