As we noted earlier on social media, leak detection work at the rainbow-colored crosswalk at 13th and Locust streets was mistakenly reported as vandalism on Monday, December 28.
Philadelphia Water recognizes that work performed last night at that intersection caused some concern among citizens in the area. While the work being performed was not unusual, we apologize for the disturbance and any misunderstanding regarding the nature of our activities.
