Burst Water Main Buckles Hollywood Hills Road
There were two water main bursts in the area overnight, and roughly 50 people lost water service as a result.
A large water main break caused a road to buckle in the Hollywood Hills this morning and interrupted service to about 50 customers, authorities said.
The break at 2244 N. Cahuenga Blvd., at Odin Street, was noticed at 3:12 a.m., said the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Margaret Stewart. There was no damage to neighboring structures, she said. Odin Street was shut down.
The gushing water was from a broken 8-inch main, said the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s Vonda Paige. The water was turned off in the area, and crews worked to repair the broken pipe. About 50 customers were affected, the LADWP reported. The estimated completion time is 3 p.m.
