A water main break impacted some homes and businesses along Main Street in downtown Somerville on Wednesday.
New Jersey American Water crews were dispatched to repair the ruptured main, which led to temporary closures from Bridge Street to Maple Street and significantly impacted local commerce.
Phoenix Cafe, Sunrise Luncheonette, Dunkin' and other businesses that rely heavily on water service had to adjust operations.
Water service was restored by 10:30 a.m. to many of the affected businesses, providing some relief.
Somerville police indicated that repairs are expected to continue into the evening.
