A burst pipe in Beverly Grove sent water flowing down the street on Sunday morning, threatening parked vehicles and forcing some water services in the area to be shut off. Crews from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power responded to a broken pipe around 6 a.m. near the intersection of San Vicente Boulevard and Lindenhurst Avenue. … The flooding follows several other burst pipes in the Los Angeles area in recent weeks. On July 16, a major water main break in West Hollywood forced the closure of a section of Sunset Boulevard and displaced some residents. … In 2019, LADWP said roughly 29% of the city’s pipes were over 80 years old, nearing their typical 100-year lifespan.
