EHC Dollar General Fire Breaks Water Main

EGG HARBOR CITY — A fire at a Dollar General on Route 30 Friday night resulted in a water main break, leaving residents in the area without water Saturday.

“The residents in that area between the White Horse Pike and Arago Street will be without water today for an undetermined amount of time,” Egg Harbor City Mayor Lisa Jiampetti said. “Right now there’s water flowing everywhere on the White Horse Pike.”

 Jiampetti said the pressure from the water through the city’s old infrastructure was likely the cause of the main break. The break is between 10th Terrace and Baltimore Avenue on Route 30.

Jiampetti said that she has not received any updates on the cause of the fire as of Saturday morning. She said that it is a suspected arson, but did not know if anyone was in custody.

Egg Harbor City Police or fire officials were not immediately available for comment.
