If you’ve driven in the 1200 block of Cherry Street the last couple of weeks, you’ve probably noticed a big wet area on the pavement of the northbound driving lane. The wet pavements looks particularly out of place on days like this when the temperature is in the mid-90’s with sunny skies.

Mt. Carmel water commissioner Justin Dulgar tells us the water is coming from a line break, but the city is waiting on the state to approve the repairs since that part of Cherry Street is also a state highway (Route 1).

So until the state signs off on the repairs, you’ll continue to notice the wet pavement, even when summer temperatures dry up everything else.
