Looks like a hydrant was struck as well. You can see it is DOA in the last picture. The asphalt must have been knocked around when the pipe shifted.

From the looks of the photos, was that hydrant in the middle of the driveway?

Break away hydrant didn't break away so well. Looks like they didn't use a breakable collar at street level when they raised the hydrant. Just extended the pipe off the main to the original barrel.

The location of the MVA was not in the Village of New Square, it was on the west side of Rt 45 opposite the Village.

The hydrant is not so much in the middle of a driveway as it is towards the end of a small parking lot. The house used to be a dentist's office, and the hydrant has been there forever. The riser pipe did stick out of the asphalt quite a bit. You can see that the hydrant did in fact breakaway as it was supposed to, unfortunately with the pipe sticking out of the ground, it really didn't make much difference.
