The main broke around 4 p.m. near the intersection of Bitters Road and Partridge Trail and a San Antonio Water System spokesperson said the break had been isolated by 5 p.m.
Two separate water mains ruptured after two different contracting companies hit them while installing fiber cables in the area, according to SAWS spokesperson Anne Hayden.
