ALLENTOWN, Pennsylvania Authorities in eastern Pennsylvania say a large water main break flooded streets in the city of Allentown and prompted evacuation of three homes deemed to be unsafe due to the damage.
Officials said the 36-inch main broke at about 3 a.m. Sunday, knocking out service to many homes on the city s south side and causing low pressure in others.
Residents were urged not to use water if possible and motorists were told to avoid the area.
Lehigh County Authority spokeswoman Susan Sampson said code enforcement officials deemed three properties unsafe and evacuated residents as a precaution.
Sampson said the cause of the break on the pipe, which carries the bulk of water to the south-side reservoir and customers, wasn t immediately known.

The Lehigh County Authority continued working Monday to limit the impact of Sunday’s break of a 36-inch, cast iron water transmission main that caused flooding and the evacuation of three homes, according to a news release.
A boil water advisory for a large chuck of the city but not extending into Emmaus or Salisbury Township will continue until the main is repaired and two days of testing is complete, the authority said. Testing can’t start until the main is fixed.
Workers were “carefully shutting down the line to minimize additional impact to customers prior to repairing the break,” the news release said. Low water pressure was expected, an official said Sunday.
