GAINESVILLE - Some west hall residents had to do without water service for a while Thursday morning because of a water main break in the Sardis area west of Gainesville.

Workers said they expected to restore service before noon as a backhoe dug down through the mud to find the break stop the water flow. Homes along a section of Chestatee near Green Hill as well as homes on Green Hill Raoad lost service.

Approaching motorists were cautioned to slow down since the work was underway on a hillside. Cause of the water main break was not immediately known.
