A water main break on Sunset Boulevard, on the campus of UCLA, has led to a disaster scene in Los Angeles. Many parts of the campus, including the soccer field and the newly renovated Pauley Pavilion, have been pounded by a spate of water from the broken main that relentlessly spewed more than a million gallons into the surrounding areas.
Reports late Tuesday from the Daily Bruin and Los Angeles Times state five buildings were damaged in the torrent — likely non worse than Pauley Pavilion. It’s estimated between 8 and 10 million gallons of water, from the main line that is 90 years old, spewed into the streets and seeped into UCLA’s campus before the valve could be closed.
