SAN ANTONIO — Traffic on Bitters Road on the North Side was disrupted Wednesday after two water mains broke and flooded nearby streets in the area of Silverhorn Golf Club.

The main broke around 4 p.m. near the intersection of Bitters Road and Partridge Trail and a San Antonio Water System spokesperson said the break had been isolated by 5 p.m.

Two separate water mains ruptured after two different contracting companies hit them while installing fiber cables in the area, according to SAWS spokesperson Anne Hayden.
