Friday Headlines: Old Pipe in Ohio Breaks Disrupting Water Service
An early morning water main break in Harrison Township, Ohio disrupted water service to about 60 homes and businesses in the area and created a large sink hole in the street. The 10-inch water supply pipe that broke had been installed in the early 1950s, and its age might have been a factor in causing the break.
