Standing water could be seen at nearby intersections, driveways and alongside a street that was reduced to one lane of traffic.<\/p>\n<p>About 10 to 20 customers were affected. <\/p>\n<p>Eastbound Santa Monica Boulevard was closed at Laurel Avenue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The location is several blocks from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbclosangeles.com\/news\/local\/water-pooling-west-hollywood-main-break\/3920727\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pipe rupture last week<\/a> on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood that flooded streets. Repair worked continued Thursday at that location. <\/p>\n<p>LA&#8217;s highly pressurised water system moves large amount of water around the nearly 500-square-mile city with a population of 3.8 million people. Crews must first turn off the water using valves before beginning repair work to the damaged pipe and, sometimes, the street surface.<\/p>\n<p>The LADWP said the break Thursday morning was not connected to the earlier major rupture in West Hollywood.<\/p>\n<p>There was no estimated timeline for repairs. It was not immediately clear how many customers were impacted. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Part of Santa Monica Boulevard was closed Thursday due to a water main break near the West Hollywood-Hollywood&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":409718,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[1743,48,52,51,47,50,49,655],"class_list":["post-409717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-hollywood","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-west-hollywood"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=409717"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409717\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/409718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
