CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Editor's note: This story has been corrected to show that an independent contractor hit the water line that caused the main break.

Repairs to the water line that was hit by a private contractor in the Commodores Bridge area of North Padre Island Tuesday have been complete as of Tuesday evening, according to an update from Corpus Christi Water.
