The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission issued an alert shortly before 11 a.m. about the main break in the area of 30th Avenue and Wawona Street, located just west of Pine Lake Park in Stern Grove.Robin Cookston described the spectacle. "It looked like a giant tower of water about three stories tall. It was really surprising," Cookston said.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission explained what happened in a statement that said in part:"The cause of the break appears to be the failure of an eight-inch valve connected to a 60-inch water transmission line. The scope and schedule for all repairs, including for the hillside into the park, is still being determined.""There's a big pit next to someone's home so probably they're going to have to shore up the area," Shao said.
