The incident happened early Monday morning. Work crews were called in shortly after and spent most of the day repairing the 12-inch main. The break left a handful of nearby businesses without water, but has since been restored. 

Daniel Lavoie, with the North Side Sewer and Water division, says traffic was also re-routed, but didn't seem to cause too much of an inconvenience for drivers.

Lavoie said water main breaks are common this time of year because of the freezing temperatures.
