PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Apparently the rain is not the only issue Tuesday morning. In Northeast Philadelphia, a water main break is causing more headaches.
The break happened on Cottman Avenue and Walker Street in Holmesburg.
It's been a nightmare for drivers along Cottman Avenue, one of the busiest roads in the Northeast.
When CBS3 first got to the main break around 8 a.m., it looked like a geyser. There was water shooting out about a foot into the air, gallons and gallons of it, running the length of Cottman Avenue.
PWD workers have been able to get the main break somewhat under control but they are still trying to get to the root of it to shut off the water entirely.
The rain is not making it any easier. The workers are knee-deep in some parts of the water from the break combining with rain.
No word on how long it will take to repair the main.
