Some Point Loma residents will be without water for the rest of the night after a water main broke Friday afternoon.
The 12-inch, cast iron line ruptured at about 1:36 p.m. near the intersection of Catalina Boulevard and Canon Street.
Water flowing to the main was shut off about an hour later.
At this point, customers living along Catalina Boulevard between Talbot and Charles streets do not have water service, and the city of San Diego does not expect service to be restored to all customers until 2:30 a.m. Saturday.
The city is currently undergoing a massive overhaul of its outdated water distribution system, according to Arian Collins with the city's Public Utilities department.
The department is working to replace all its cast iron water mains by 2017. In 2014, the city experienced 75 water main breaks — the fewest in the past decade, Collins said.
