A large amount of water was reported rushing down a street in West Hollywood Monday afternoon, prompting a response from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s West Hollywood station. The incident was reported at 1:39 p.m. near 958 Palm Ave., where water was seen flowing rapidly along the roadway.
Deputies arrived to determine the cause of the leak, and authorities are now investigating whether a water main break or another plumbing problem is responsible. The exact source of the water had not been confirmed as of the report.
Water continued to flow in the area, creating a traffic hazard for drivers. Officials urged motorists to use caution and take alternate routes if possible.
The incident comes after West Hollywood has already dealt with major water main break damage in recent weeks, including flooding that disrupted traffic and caused extensive cleanup in the neighborhood.
