As sewer construction work creeps up hill in the Pine Grove Lakes neighborhood of Sloatsburg, lead contractor Montana Construction clipped a hidden water line Wednesday morning at 8 a.m.
The main sprayed water into the air at the top of Council Crest Road until Montana and United Water New York were able to shut off the flow.
Water in the Pine Grove neighborhood was shut down throughout the morning (currently water service for many PGL residents is still off) while United Water worked to repair the water main.
The Sloatsburg sewer project in Pine Grove is due to run through the end of 2014, with possible road paving scheduled for sometime in the spring, after the road settles from construction.
