NORTHERN LIBERTIES (WPVI) -- A water main break caused problems in the city's Northern Liberties section Saturday.

The break happened just before 11 a.m. near the intersection of Front Street and Girard Avenue.

There was water all over the place, making a mess of things, and affecting at least 10 homes and businesses.

Water was restored around 9 p.m.

Residents of at least three properties will have to spend the night elsewhere due to ruined heaters and hot water tanks.
