San Francisco homes flood after water main break

A large water main break flooded a section of San Francisco's Sunnydale neighborhood Monday morning, sending water into a roadway and into nearby homes, authorities said.

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.

Crews managed to shut down the water main, but the SFFD said some homes were flooded with up to 2 to 3 feet of water. However, residents were not evacuated and were allowed to stay in their homes, the department said.

SFFD, PG&E and San Francisco Public Utilities Commission crews were on the scene as of about 8:20 a.m. to repair the water main and other damages caused by the flooding.
