About 130 residential customers were without water service for several hours Wednesday morning as a water main break was being repaired, according to the Las Vegas Valley Water District.
The break occurred around 3 or 4 a.m. on West Oakey Boulevard between Rancho and Campbell drives, according to spokesman Bronson Mack.
Crews were expected to work throughout the day on the 18-inch break.
Mack said as of 11 a.m., crews were able to isolate a portion of the repair work, resulting in service restoration for all but seven customers.
Repairs were expected to last until Wednesday evening.
