City crews have restored water to a portion of northeast Minneapolis hit by a water main break Saturday.

The city thanked residents of the neighborhood across from downtown in a message at about 7:30 a.m. Sunday for their patience as staff worked to restore service, according to a post on social media.

The break along Hennepin Avenue impacted residences and businesses between 2nd and 4th streets and First and Central avenues. Service was out for about a day as repairs were made.
