A 12-inch water main broke early this morning at a construction site outside the Woburn Mall, flooding part of a grocery store, a fire official said.

The Woburn Fire Department received a call at 5:51 a.m. The break occurred near an addition that is being built on to the Market Place grocery store.

Work crews remain on the scene.

On Tuesday, a water pipe broke at the CambridgeSide Galleria and closed three stores, including Best Buy. The break also dumped thousands of gallons of water into the parking garage.
