A water main break flooded the intersection of Third Street and Columbia Avenue in Westlake early Tuesday, Oct. 27.

Water rushed across the street and up against an apartment building at the corner before 4 a.m. LAPD officers taped off the intersection, and Los Angeles Fire Department crews were at the scene.

There was no immediate word on what caused the break, how many customers lost water or when the street would reopen.
