CINCINNATI -- Dozens in Mount Adams are waking up Tuesday to dry faucets, and it will be that way for much of the day due to a water main break at Pavilion and St. Gregory streets.
Crews are working after a 10-inch cast iron pipe broke around 1 a.m. Tuesday, causing the concrete to buckle and water to pour through the streets. The water has stopped, but Cincinnati Water Works estimates the problem could take about eight hours to fix.

Cincinnati Water Works representatives say the problem affects 17 branches, which is a block or two of homes and businesses.
Before they can replace the pipe, utility workers have to access their power grid and mark gas, electric and cable lines.
