nbclosangeles.com · last updated

Residents in Sherman Oaks awoke to find they had no water on Saturday as crews worked to fix a water main break, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power confirmed.

LADWP was called to the 5040 block of 5040 Varna Avenue just after 1 a.m. for a water main break. There, crews found a 6-inch break.

Several vehicles in the immediate area were relocated while crews worked on the break.

Just after 11 a.m., LADWP said the break was fixed and water is expected to be fully restored to the area by 3 p.m. Once the service returns, there is no need to run water as it will be ready to use, according to the utility company.

It’s unclear what caused the break.
