Water Main Break Causes Flooding Near Hancock Park

HANCOCK PARK, Calif. A water main ruptured early Saturday near Hancock Park, flooding a street and prompting officials to close it.

The latest water main break occurred on Oakwood Avenue near Normandie Avenue about 3:20 a.m., said Capt. Rick McClure of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

By 3:40 a.m. water was flowing down Oakwood into a lot and flooding some yards and garages, according to a RMG News video crew at the scene.

Oakwood was closed westbound from Normandie, RMG News reported.

Department of Water and Power and city transportation workers responded to the break. It was unclear how many customers lost service, if any.
