    MADISON TOWNSHIP, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — An excavator that was working on a dam improvement project at the Pennsylvania American Water’s Curtis Reservoir is now stuck in the water.

    Pennsylvania American Water (PAW) says this was due to a land subsidence beneath the excavator.

    According to PAW, the operator was able to get out safely and the water level in the reservoir was already very low, so they do not see any safety hazards.

    A portion of Reservoir Road is closed while they work with DEP on a plan for the safest way to stabilize the dam.
