Large Water Main Break Sees Geyser Gush In Orange County
MISSION VIEJO (CBSLA.com) — A large water main break in Mission Viejo Friday evening looked like Old Faithful as a large plume of water went airborne.
The break occurred at Santa Margarita Parkway and Monterey Streets, near a condo complex.
Local water crews and Orange County Fire Authority are on scene trying to repair the break.
There is no official reason for the break but officials think erosion is a possible cause.
The first call about the break came in just before 6:45 p.m.
Officials said it took about two hours to get the water completely shut off.
