Boil Water Advisory Lifted While Water Main Repairs Continue
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - The boil water advisory for the southern Pittsburgh area has been lifted.
Pennsylvania American Water customers can now drink their water without having to boil it first.
Crews are still out at Becks Run Road, which is closed. East Agnew Avenue will remain closed until further notice.
Assuming Becks Run Road is still closed when your Monday morning commute, here's the detour: take Carson Street to Glass Run Road, to Churchview Avenue to Brownsville Road and back to Becks Run Road.
