Gigantic water leak causes street to collapse near Primrose Hill
11:37 26 November 2014
Residents were left wading through a torrent of water over the weekend after a huge water pipe burst, flooding the street and causing the road to collapse.
Homeowners along Wells Rise, next to Primrose Hill, awoke to a small river flowing past their front doors on Sunday morning, with some residents left frantically sweeping water away from their drives to stop homes being flooded.
The chaotic scenes, caused by a ruptured pipe 36ins in diameter, left about 600 homes with low water pressure or no water at all.
Parts of the road collapsed due to the leak and left a gaping hole in the street while workmen carried out urgent repairs.
Thames Water is still working to fix the pipe and the cause of the leak is not yet known.

Water Main Break Causes Flood in San Anselmo, California (Nov 13)
Residents in San Anselmo are used to floods, just not as accustomed to those caused by broken water pipes.
"Saw water on both sides of the street and getting high fast," said Karl Christoffersen, who works at Seawood Photo on Tunstead Avenue. He showed KTVU his home video that he took as fountains of water spewed from the pavement near the store.
"It looked like the street had been lifted up maybe a foot almost," Christoffersen said, "And then we saw the water kind of shooting up out of the cracks in the street."

Water main ruptures near Anaheim elementary school
ANAHEIM, Calif. (KABC) --A water main across the street from an elementary school burst Tuesday afternoon in Anaheim.
The ruptured water main was reported at about 2:45 p.m. in the 5000 block of East Gerda Drive, across the street from Crescent Elementary. Students at the school had already been let out for the day.
Anaheim Power and Water crews arrived by 3 p.m. to turn off the water. By 5 p.m., water continued to flow.
Crews were worried about what may happen if they turned the water off, as the break was located near a pressure regulating station. A water production crew was dispatched to deal with the shut off.
Officials initially estimated that the 10-inch water main would take about three to four hours to repair. Temporary street and water-main repairs were expected to be completed by 6 a.m.
About 24 homes in the area were affected. By 8:30 p.m. all customers had their water restored.Source: http://abc7.com/news/water-main-ruptures-near-anaheim-school/363534/

Water main break causes O'side sinkhole
Northbound lanes closed on El Camino Real
The northbound lanes of El Camino Real at Mesa Drive in Oceanside remained shut down Thursday, a day after a massive sinkhole opened across the busy roadway.
Most of the lanes could remain closed for as long as a week, as crews work to repair the busted 30-inch water main that caused the sinkhole — estimated at roughly 20-feet by 13-feet on the road surface, and as deep as 10-feet. The broken pipe also sent a torrent of water into the street Wednesday evening.
To make the repairs, authorities have closed all northbound lanes of El Camino Real between Oceanside Boulevard and Mesa Drive.
Cari Dale, Oceanside’s water utilities director, said crews are hoping to be able to open at least one northbound lane on Friday. But there is a complication: a large storm drain pipe that runs atop the busted 30-inch water main is also damaged, a discovery crews made Thursday.
Crews won’t know what caused the rupture until they dig deep enough to reach the pipe, but Dale said she suspects corrosion of a flange on the pipe may be to blame. A similar problem led to a sinkhole — 6-feet by 8-feet on the road surface, and about 15-feet deep — on North River Road last November.
Dale said it could take a week for all the fixes to be made at the El Camino Real site and for the road to be fully reopened. Water users in the area have not been affected, she said.

Foothill residents, crews dig out flooded homes after water main break
Estimated 2.5 million gallons escaped from high-capacity line
SALT LAKE CITY — At least four homes were temporarily uninhabitable Saturday after a broken water main left them flooded overnight.
Residents made arrangements to stay with family or friends while crews began piecing the roads, yards and homes back together.
"Salt Lake City has a no-fault ordinance that allows us to take care of the problem and restore things as best we can," said Tom Ward, deputy director for the city's Department of Public Utilities. "Obviously it's a mess here today, but we'll take care of it."
Approximately 35 structures reported some kind of damage related to the broken 48-inch pipeline that runs underneath the intersection at 1700 South and Foothill Drive. Salt Lake City officials estimate 2.5 million gallons escaped from the high-capacity line.
At least eight buildings, Ward said, have interior water damage, including the Montessori Community School, which has been at 2416 E. 1700 South since 2005.
"We have so many shelves and wooden materials, it could be thousands of dollars," said Robyn Eriwata-Buchanan, owner and head of the school. She said water gushed through the yard and into the school through a window well in the back and reached up to 8 inches in some places.
Eriwata-Buchanan was overcome with emotion as she assessed the work that will need to be done before normal schooling can continue.
"It'll be fine," she said. "We'll be OK."
The school will be closed Monday, however, as staff tries to salvage what they can from the muddy mess.
Electricity was also off at some of the affected buildings, to avoid additional problems, according to the Salt Lake City Fire Department, which was assisting in the cleanup process. Water from the pipeline was reportedly shut off within an hour of the 8:30 p.m. break on Friday, however, the pipe continued to drain throughout the night.
"I've never seen anything quite like that," said Dale Angell, who lives on 1700 South. "It was rushing through here like crazy and the neighbor's yard was visiting as it came through and there were bowling ball-size rocks rolling through with it."
In addition to mud and water, large pieces of concrete and plants were pushed from home to home.
David Jenen and his wife had just completed renovating a home on the street to sell. He said some water leaked through the foundation, but overall, "we got off lucky."
"It was bad, but OK," he said. "Now we're in the cleanup phase and we'll get it back on the market."
The cause of the break remains under investigation, although Ward said that big pipes work best with a lot of applied pressure.
"The bigger the pipe, the more force that pressure has," he said. The city planned to finish repairing the pipe by the end of the day Saturday and would begin surface restoration on Sunday.
Landscaping and other work would continue as necessary, and the city was heading up all repairs.
Ward said he hoped to open the road to traffic prior to the Monday morning commute.

Several water main breaks close Santa Ana streets, college classes in Mission Viejo
Officials did not disclose what may have caused four pipes to break starting early Tuesday.

Published: Oct. 8, 2014 Updated: 7:39 p.m.Four water mains broke in Orange County starting early Tuesday caused street closures and a community college campus to shut down, officials said.
The first water main break was discovered by Saddleback College maintenance staff a little after 4 a.m. Tuesday, as water bubbled out from cracks in the ground near the Advanced Technology & Applied Science building at the north end of the Mission Viejo campus, college spokeswoman Jennie McCue said.
The college shut off water on campus about 1 p.m. to repair the water main, which is 10 to 12 feet underground, McCue said. All students and faculty were asked to leave the campus Tuesday and Wednesday because there was no running water.
McCue said she didn’t know how much water leaked.
Classes are expected to resume Thursday, she said.
The next leak was found in Santa Ana at around 6:45 p.m. Tuesday in the 1800 block of West 17th Street.
Authorities found two, and later a third, main water lines broken for unknown reasons and a sinkhole on West 17th Street caused by the water damage.
Officials worked initially to shut off the water before starting repairs that lasted throughout Tuesday night and into Wednesday afternoon.
Fred Mousavipour, the city’s public works director, said workers repaired one leak by 10 p.m. Tuesday and another at 7:50 a.m. Wednesday. After officials fixed the second break, they noticed a third leak on a nearby pipe. Officials planned to have the last leak repaired mid-Wednesday afternoon.
Mousavipour said the pipe is 56 years old and public works officials have not yet determined why the lines leaked. The usual cause is age and damage caused by vibrations from use over time, he said.
Drivers should expect delays on West 17th Street near the damage site. Only one lane of traffic will be open until repairs are complete, officials said.
An undisclosed number of Santa Ana water customers who lost service because of the damaged lines and were expected to have reconnected service before Thursday.
The broken pipes between the cities do not seem to be related.Source: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/water-637746-street-wednesday.html
