A ruptured water main which forced about 100 Lafayette homes and businesses to go without water Thursday was repaired and full service restored at about 10:30 a.m.
The break occurred at the intersection of Mount Diablo Boulevard and Village Center. Eastbound lanes of Mount Diablo Boulevard were briefly, partially closed to traffic while crews worked to fix the break.
