SAN ANTONIO — A restaurant located just north of downtown missed out on early Labor Day business as a water main break continue to impact the area of Broadway and Post.
A spokesperson for San Antonio Water System (SAWS) said service had been restored but added the repairs wouldn't be completely done until Tuesday morning at the latest.
SAWS initially shared news about the break of a 24-inch pipe at 8:21 p.m. Sunday, saying "water pressure should be restored soon." Crews were will at the scene early Monday afternoon, where puddle-splashing traffic was down to one lane both ways and SAWS workers dug into the ground to repair the pipe.
Just across the street is the new Postino location, which had its lights off and parking lot mostly empty Monday. A sign on the door read the restaurant would be closed Monday morning due to the main break, and an employee with the restaurant said they planned to reopen at 4 p.m.
"We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience," the sign read. "Thank you for bearing with us."
Another nearby social spot, Backyard on Broadway, said it was forced to turn away about 200 guests Sunday night when the issues began. The business was forced boil ice for water to clean dishes.
"Right at the start of a dinner rush on a long weekend," a representative with the restaurant said. "Vey annoying. Our hopes are that it will be all fixed by Wednesday when we reopen."
Just down the street, a representative with The Beverly Apartments said its tenants weren't impacted by the main break.
