A water main broke in San Francisco on Friday morning, creating flooding and a crater-like shape near San Francisco's Stern Grove. The break on Wawona Street was reported about 9:30 a.m., sending water gushing high into the sky. The cause of the break wasn't immediately clear. Crews from the San Francisco Fire Department and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission were on the scene trying to figure out what happened and how to fix it.
They were able to turn off the gusher by about 11 a.m. Neighbors who saw the water thought it was a geyser. Some residents in the area may experience low water pressure. Three years ago, a ruptured water main in Stern Grove on Sloat Boulevard caused $20 million in damage and forced organizers to cancel the finale of the Stern Grove Festival.The current water main break is not located inside the grove, and the festival is three months away.
