Crews were at the scene on Frost Bank Center Drive between Gembler Road and East Houston Street.

According to a SAWS spokesperson, no one — including the Frost Bank Center — has lost any water service related to the break. However, the agency is “unsure” how long it will take crews to fix the 24-inch break.

Monday’s water main break is the second break SAWS crews have responded to in as many months.

On March 27, the break took between 24 and 48 hours to fix after a 74-year-old cast-iron water main fell beneath the roadway.
