Broken Water Main Floods 12 Square Blocks
LONG BEACH —
A water main in Long Beach broke Thursday night, flooding a roughly 12-square-block area near Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway.
Water, a couple of feet deep in spots, was running down streets around the intersection, and streets in the area were closed.
Firefighters were sandbagging around storefronts and working with Long Beach utility crews to get the line shut off.
