Water restored to 14 businesses in Waipahu after main break

Board of Water Supply crews restored water service to 14 businesses and completed repairs on a 12-inch water main break on Leokane Street in Waipahu today.

The 12-inch water main broke on Leokane Street shortly before 5 a.m., according to the Board of Water Supply.

Crews restored service at about 7:30 a.m. and completed repairs at 3:30 p.m.

Police initially closed Leokane Street between Leoleo and Pupuole streets and then alternated lane closures as the repairs continued.

Meanwhile, repairs to an earlier water main break, also in Waipahu, were also completed.

The 8-inch water main break on Waipahu Depot Road ruptured Tuesday afternoon. Repairs to the water main were completed last night, but the mauka-bound lanes of Waipahu Depot Road remain closed from Hikimoe to Waipahu streets as crews are repaving the road this morning.
