Utility crews are working to mop up a water main break that flooded a San Marcos street Monday.
According to a spokesman for the Vallecitos Water District, the water line that supplies an apartment complex's fire sprinklers ruptured at about 2:20 p.m. near Liberty and Henson Heights drives.
A sheriff's spokesperson initially told NBC 7 at least one home had flooded, but the utility's crews said they were able to shut off water before it could run into any homes.
San Diego Gas & Electric had to check the lines before the water district repair the water main and a valve to prevent future breaks, the spokesman said.
Water was restored to nearby residents just before 10 p.m. Monday.
