Eight homes are without running water after a large water main break in St. Vital on Friday.

The leak started on Riverbend Avenue early Friday.

The city says eight homes are currently without water. Other homes in the area have discoloured water, including at St. Vital Centre, but water service to the mall was not disrupted.

The city has sent a potable water tank to the homes.

Crews are working to pinpoint the leak. The city expects repairs to begin later Saturday or Sunday morning.
