expressnews.com · last updated

San Antonio Water System crews are working to repair a water main break at Wurzbach Parkway and Blanco Road. 

A 16-inch pipe ruptured on Tuesday morning, SAWS spokeswoman Anne Hayden said. The pipe is made of PVC, a type of plastic. 

The westbound off-ramp from Wurzbach Parkway is closed, as is part of the intersection at Blanco Road. 

One apartment complex, Sky at Salado Creek, was temporarily without water service, but was restored by early afternoon. 

Repairs are expected to be completed today, Hayden said. 

Water main breaks have been an ongoing challenge for SAWS due to aging infrastructure, costing the utility billions of gallons of water each year.
