An 8-inch pipe that connects to a 16-inch valve broke just after 3 a.m. near Wilcox Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood, said Karen Hughes of the Department of Water and Power. She did not know how many customers were affected by the break.
“Our first priority is to stop any kind of flow and to make the necessary repairs and get it restored as quickly as possible,” Hughes said.
Another break, reported just after 1 a.m. at 4400 Victorine Street near Rose Hill Park in Montecito Heights, affected the residents of a nearby housing complex and was restored a few hours later, she said.
