Residents of North Oakland condos without water after water line break
The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority shut off water at a break, leaving a North Oakland condominium without water Sunday, an authority spokesperson said.
The break occurred on a private water line connecting to Park Plaza Condominiums on North Craig Street, authority spokesperson Rebecca Zito said. Water authority crews isolated the break and shut off the water there around 9 a.m. on Sunday, she said.
Zito could not say when the break occurred, but Tribune-Review news partner WPXI reported it was first noticed Saturday night. According to WPXI, the water buckled the sidewalk and driveway in front of the high-rise.
“It’s only the people in that condominium who were impacted by the break,” Zito said.
Because the break occurred in a private line, she said, it will be up to the property owner to make the necessary repairs.
Park Plaza Condominiums officials were not immediately available to comment on the situation.
