    Sep. 22—A water main break is flooding the basement of a Pittsburgh hotel Wednesday morning.

    The break is at Fort Duquesne Boulevard and Barkers Way, a Pittsburgh Public Safety spokesperson said. The subbasement of the Renaissance Hotel Pittsburgh on Sixth Street was taking on water.

    There was 6 to 8 feet of water in the subbasement, Tribune-Review news partner WPXI-TV reported.

    Water was coming through the walls of the neighboring Byham Theater, but its basement had not flooded, the station reported.
