A burst pipe in Beverly Grove sent water flowing<\/a> down the street on Sunday morning, threatening parked vehicles and forcing some water services in the area to be shut off. <\/p>\n

Crews from the Department of Los Angeles Water and Power responded to a broken pipe around 6 a.m. near the intersection of San Vicente Boulevard and Lindenhurst Avenue. Flooding was first reported at 4:48 a.m.<\/p>\n

Repairs are expected to be completed around 2:30 p.m., an LADWP representative said. San Vicente Boulevard remains closed between Lindenhurst and Orlando avenues. <\/p>\n

LADWP did not disclose the cause of the burst in the eight-inch cast-iron pipe. <\/p>\n

The flooding follows several other burst pipes in the Los Angeles area in recent weeks. On July 16, a major water main break<\/a> in West Hollywood forced the closure of a section of Sunset Boulevard and displaced some residents. <\/p>\n

Sunset Boulevard was reopened<\/a> overnight on July 24. LADWP said it is accelerating the full replacement of the affected trunk line, a project that was originally scheduled for 2031. <\/p>\n

Two other ruptured pipes in Venice and Hollywood last month have also been repaired, The Times reported. <\/p>\n

In 2019, LADWP said roughly 29% of the city\u2019s pipes were over 80 years old, nearing their typical 100-year lifespan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A burst pipe in Beverly Grove sent water flowing down the street on Sunday morning, threatening parked vehicles…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":422031,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[2640,91782,97738,168500,7862,644,5679,48,52,51,168499,168501,47,50,49,63,69984,45927,22888,315,646],"class_list":["post-422030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-a-m","tag-beverly-grove","tag-broken-pipe","tag-burst-pipe","tag-closure","tag-flooding","tag-july","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-ladwp-representative","tag-lindenhurst-avenue","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-los-angeles-times","tag-san-vicente-boulevard","tag-section","tag-sunset-boulevard","tag-time","tag-water"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422030","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=422030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422030\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/422031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=422030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=422030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=422030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
