For the second time today, Board of Water Supply personnel have completed repairs of a broken water main in Kaneohe.
The initial break, which cut off water to approximately 50 customers, was reported around 1:30 a.m. and was repaired around 1 p.m.
Affected residents were able to enjoy restored water service for all of an hour before another section of the same line broke while crews were refilling the trench.
