Some residents in Kingsville can expect to have their water back-on by Tuesday evening.

Work crews spent most of the day repairing a 12-inch water main which split.

The town's Director of Municipal Services, Andrew Plancke, says the break damaged a section of County Road 20 between County Road 45 and County Road 31.

He says the water main extends to Leamington and was laid down in 1950.

Plancke adds the water pressure removed some soil, and that damaged a sewer line.

Plancke expects the road to re-open Tuesday night, but crews will have come back to lay down new pavement.
