Repeat Flood

You may recall the flood that occurred in 2014 when a water main broke around Sunset Blvd. and Westwood. It seems to have happened again. Water has apparently gone into the nearby parking facility and athletic field. A large tree seems to have fallen on or around Sunset.

From an email received just before 5 AM today:

Dear Bruin Community,

A city of Los Angeles water main broke shortly before 2:00 a.m. under Sunset Boulevard near Westwood Plaza. Currently, all parts of campus are unaffected except for Charles Young Drive North, parking lot 4, lot 7 and the Intermural Field. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is actively working to contain the situation. We wanted to communicate the latest information to you and will share more updates throughout the day.

As of 7:30 AM today, there was nothing listed on the UCLA website. Sunset is reported to be closed in the area.
