SAN FRANCISCO - Several homes were flooded on Monday morning after a water main broke in San Francisco’s Sunnydale neighborhood.
The San Francisco Fire Department was sent about 6:35 a.m. to Santos Street between Velasco and Geneva avenues on reports of the break and found the area flooded, according to a department statement.
