A water main break has flooded a major intersection and surrounding streets in West Hollywood, sending thousands of gallons of water rushing down Sunset Boulevard Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
The water was spilling down Holloway Drive and pouring into underground parking garages of neighborhood apartments.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles County sheriff\u2019s deputies and firefighters were responding to the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook at the volume of water coming out, this is one of the big ones,\u201d said Los Angeles County Fire Department Capt. Aaron Katon told a KTLA reporter at the scene. Crews responded after 3 a.m., he said.<\/p>\n
Officials are trying to determine which water agency controls the burst main, as a number of different mains intersect in the area.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018We now have three water companies out here,\u201d Katon said.<\/p>\n
As of 6 a.m., crews with Los Angeles Department of Water and Power were at the scene, trying to turn off the water, a company official told The Times.<\/p>\n
Video from the scene showed Palm and Hancock avenues flooded as the water flowed downhill toward Santa Monica Boulevard.<\/p>\n
A bus depot at Santa Monica and San Vicente boulevards had turned into a shallow lake. <\/p>\n
