The break was reported around 5:30 a.m. at 3408 Hardesty St.
Hardesty Street has been closed between 8th and 9th avenues, said Devon Nekoba, spokesman for the Board of Water Supply.
It is not known yet how long it will take to repair the main, Nekoba said.

Witnesses said a water main break caused water to shoot up nearly two telephone poles high. Gravel rained down on nearby homes and damaged Washiashi's car. RICHARD AMBO | The Honolulu Advertiser |
