Emergency repairs to a water main closed down South Main Street in Wilkes-Barre between Northampton Street and Public Square for most of Tuesday.
Some businesses, including Boscovâs department store, closed at 5 p.m. when water was expected to be shut off completely.
Crews worked in front of Boscovâs for most of the day, but numerous business owners along South Main Street and on Public Square said they never lost water and remained open.
The work was completed by 6:15 p.m. and water service was fully restored, said Susan Turcmanovich, a spokeswoman for Pennsylvania American Water.
Turcmanovich said businesses in the area were notified on Monday via an automated telephone call that water service could be disrupted.
