Summary
Around 6 a.m., a water main burst at Santa Monica Boulevard and Laurel Avenue in West Hollywood, sending water onto the sidewalk and street.
AIR7 footage showed heavy water percolating from the ground, though the scene appeared to cause less damage than last week’s nearby pipe break.
Two miles away, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power crews were still repairing a massive sinkhole on Sunset Boulevard left by that earlier flooding.
A source told Eyewitness News the two water main breaks are not believed to be related, extending scrutiny of infrastructure problems in the area.
