Water could be seen gushing down a hill and towards a house.

The homeowner told KDKA's Nicole Ford she found out about the water main break in her front yard when she saw it in a Facebook video.

The water in the garage was about 3-feet high, but there was minimal damage to the basement and no damage in the front.

Fire crews finished pumping out the water at 4:30 p.m. Crews are now working on the pipes underground.

Penn American Water said approximately 55 customers are experiencing low or no water pressure.

They said normal service was restored late Monday night.
