Main break cuts water service in Kalihi

Advertiser Staff

About 40 homes and an apartment building in Kalihi have been without water since early this morning when a six-inch water main burst on Kamehameha IV Road near North School Street, according to the Honolulu Board of Water Supply.

Crews were on scene since 3:30 a.m. today working on the pipes, which were corroded and weak. Water service was restored about 3 p.m. While the homes were without water, crews tapped into fire hydrants and brought a water tank in the area for residents to use, officials said.
