A water main near 3rd and Obispo Ave. broke early this morning, leaving the street and driveways surrounding the area in Bluff Heights flooded.

WaterMainBreakBANNAccording to Melissa Keyes of the Long Beach Water Department, the break occurred specifically at 3142 E 3rd St. The break is on the old 10” water main “T” to an abandoned fire hydrant lateral. It is not certainly how many gallons of water have been released.

Crew is currently on site making needed repairs and the main is estimated to be down 3 to 5 hours, affecting 20 residencies.​
