A broken valve in a pump house owned by Lansford-Coaldale Joint Water Authority caused a mess along a street in Lansford on Monday night.

The deluge sent water and debris across Dock Street. The street was closed until about 9 p.m. as the water receded.

The authority said to its knowledge there was no interruption of service to customers.

Authority Administrator Tobias Krajcirik said the problem was a valve inside the pump house located along Dock Street. Authority employees had the leak fixed Monday night.

Water was as high as 2 feet inside the building before the garage doors were opened, Councilman Bob Silver said.

Debris was scattered across Dock Street.

Krajcirik said he didn’t know how much water was lost. The authority was checking its wells today.

They planned to clean up the mess inside the garage today.

Silver said borough workers were available to assist with the cleanup if needed today.

The authority serves more than 4,000 customers in Lansford, Coaldale and Lake Hauto.
