A main break cut water service to an unknown number of homes and businesses in Scranton’s Green Ridge neighborhood starting early this morning.
Attempts to reach a Pennsylvania-American Water Co. spokeswoman were unsuccessful, but Zummo’s Cafe general manager Lindsay Colan said the business will not open today.
Colan said employees arrived about 4 a.m. and found they had no water. The shop relies on water for coffee, cooking, bathrooms, cleaning and other things, Colan said.
Water company officials told her the company would restore water at the latest by 6 p.m., the cafe’s normal closing time.
“So we’re going to take the day,” she said.
