- A 30-inch water main burst in the middle of the night in South Philadelphia, sending thousands of gallons of water gushing through several streets.
Homeowners and business owners say they are dealing with several feet of water in their basements as the water department works to get the scene under control.
The disaster stems from a giant hole in the ground on 6th and Bainbridge.
Crews on the scene are monitoring the situation, and trying to make sure more water doesn't flow into homes and businesses.

A 100 plus year old water main tells us just how mismanaged this city is.
130 year old main wow they got to show it !!!
The GOPq says we don't need infastructure. We send people to space on joy rides.
You are so right!
Oops!
Idiot Mayor Kenney a few weeks ago was more worried about someone misplacing the bones of one of the Radical Group Move members who died like 40 years ago. He's a absolute disgrace as a Mayor and the fact he got reelected tells you all you need to know about Philadelphians.
Lol. Deferred maintenance strikes again. Nice job, Philly.
Same goes for texass
These kind of things should get maintenance like every five years.
Water, sewer, sanitation, roads and bridges are the responsibility of the city. Please stop making ignorant comments about how it's the Republican's fault.
The city is too corrupt and stupid to know what to do.
The GOPq says we don't need infastructure. Taxes aren't necessary. We send people to space on joy rides..
@@Refresh2b Philly is Dem-WAHAHAHA
@@bmojo7118 R u a "short strokerrr"? I'm taking them Looooonng strokes. JO
Truth hurts doesn’t it
Why are we paying taxes if this isn’t being maintained??????
Why we won't
Taxes go right in the pockets..they could careless 100 yrs old water main just ridiculous...
Mayor Kenny: ''The perfectly good, 100+ year old water main is yet another victim of Philadelphia's gun violence crisis''
Water main lasted 130 years! That is Well built from the old timers!
Sometimes the infrastructure doesn’t crumble, it explodes.
Nothing to see here folks! Pay no attention to that pesky 100 year old water main! Move right into those brand new luxury townhomes on 5th street between Bainbridge and South!
I had to double check... I thought this was California.. 🤦 who needs rain to flood ya when you have incompetence.
how do you have a 130-year-old main not be maintained or replaced?
Wow, water, water everywhere!
Time to add some shut-off valves. Water is precious.
they usualy do but if its a 130 year old water mane its got a 130 year old shut off and sometimes they don't budge they seize up from all that time
City won't help those homeowners. I hope their insurance will.
Old water mains are just another reason why I recently moved from Philly to Ocean City, NJ where I never have to worry about flooding.
Stay awhile, you'll find out.
Don’t Philadelphians pay for pipe maintenance in every water bill? Isn’t it that way for all utilities?
im quite sure the city is goin to find a way to not have to pay for the damages done to homes and businesses
00:40 why the heck is there asphalt on top of the brick street?
Happy birthday rob 🎂🎁
Are we done with south Philadelphia water mains break how often dose this happen. Way to many times
Sounds like a city problem.
People pay taxes and that money just go to the politicians pockets.
That's horrible
Call me crazy, but, if the Water Dept. knew that this is water main was over 100 years old, then why? was there even water flowing through it? It seems to me that their infrastructure needs to be reviewed, Desperately!!!! Too many innocent victims of this terrible circumstance. Shame, shame. I could say more, but, I think it's obvious to everyone who's to blame for this one.
Don't cap it.
I need to cool off somehow.
It's hot today 😩
Mercy
Meanwhile theres a wrench out there laughing...
Let’s be real they don’t do no maintenance in dirtydelphia
Wow
Welcome to the results of a society that lets politicians raise energy bills, whether it is gas, water, electricity, what have you, through user taxes saying it is for the infrastructure yet never fixing the infrastructure and electing those same people again and repeating the process. Works that way for the entirety of the infrastructure and you are watching the biggest bill in history in congress, of which a bunch of it is promised for these problems.
Of course, what happened to all the utility raises and gas taxes in the past that were for this problem? How much of the current budget do you think will actually go to the problem? If history gives us any clue, most will be wasted then they will raise more user fees and the people will re elect those that do this because they want infrastructure.
If private business did this people would yell the are crooked, but if their politicians do it we need to give them more power. American logic at its finest
You sure that be water ?
Believe me they are insured
Filthydelphia never had any better a chance of going in any good direction than Detroit, or other major u.s. city does. No accident, it appears.
That's a wet spot
I'd be pissed, daum
This is just the beginning 🙄🤒🤕
Na the GOPq says we don't do infastructure. We send people to space on joy rides. Taxes are not necessary.
😢😢😢😢
😮
Philly, the out of date, mismanaged joke.
Do they not monitor these old mains? 130 years old ! I guess they’re built to last 1,000 years! Prevention always better than the cure... in this case the n mc a sauce fix!!
They expect about 100 yrs and have 3500 miles of main but replace about. 29 miles per year so do the math
Surprise did not say flood cause by globalwarming
Let your democrat leaders help you out
You keep voting for those people padding their pockets. Now you have to suffer. Thank God it wasn't January.
Messed up
Maximum age limit for cast iron pipes is 100 years old.
Trust me it's usually not the cast iron that fails but the lead joints that do fail but yes there are some really soft iron in the city....been working on water main for 20+ years and some places have really bad cast iron while others are pretty good ..... depends on the ground it's buried in and if there's trollies or septa nearby
@@dennisfleming2554 quick questions you say septa is constant weight a factor or vibration
@@luxurycarkey7207 yes the vibration is a factor along with the weight but also if there's a high energy electrical duct bank nearby...there's plenty of buried electric lines in the city some of which have an enormous amount of power running through them
Lol 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Where was Trump's infrastructure plan? and where is Biden's infrastructure plan?
Stop hating on Trump! Biden ain't going to make anything better for us
City maintenance is not a fed issue- you know that.
