A water main break in Normal Heights Monday left about 30 customers without water service, with flooding reported in at least several properties.

The break in the 10-inch diameter cast iron pipe was reported at 4:10 a.m. in an alley off the 4700 block of Hawley Boulevard, San Diego city spokesman Arian Collins said.

Crews shut off the water around 6:45 a.m., Collins said.

Flooding was reported at a handful of properties, but the extent of the damage was not immediately clear, he said.

Service was expected to be restored by around 5:30 p.m., Collins said.
