Board of Water Supply crews fully restored water service by 6:30 a.m. Sunday to the seven customers that were affected by the water main break on Farrington Highway this weekend.
The main, located near the intersection of Kauiokalani Place and Farrington Highway, broke Friday afternoon.
The right town-bound lane of Farrington Highway will still remain closed as work to restore the roadway continues.
The break initially impacted about 400 customers but, that evening, the BWS successfully set up a system to bypass water to all but seven customers, including the transitional shelter, an apartment complex, Waianae Fire Station and Waianae Intermediate School.
A water wagon had been set up to provide water to those customers.

Board of Water Supply (BWS) crews are repairing a 16-inch main near the intersection of Farrington Hwy. and Kauiokalani Pl. that broke shortly before 2:00 PM.
The break initially impacted about 400 customers, but the BWS successfully set up a system to bypass water to all but about 7 customers, including the transitional shelter, an apartment complex, Waianae Fire Station and Waianae Intermediate School.
A water wagon has been set up at the end of Kauiokalani Pl. and a spigot on the hydrant fronting 85-332 Farrington Highway is providing water to these customers.
Customers on Ala Hema, Ala Walua and Ala Akau Streets have water, but at very low pressure.
The right town-bound lane will remain closed for the duration of the repair, which is expected to go into Saturday.
The main was originally installed in 1962
