A water main break caused major flooding on a Granada Hill street Saturday, damaging at least one family’s home after shooting hundreds of gallons of water through the residence.

The main break comes as LADWP works to repair a broken valve at a pump station that was damaged on Tuesday, causing a water outage for 9,200 households in Granada Hills and Porter Ranch. Officials estimate it’s impacting about 31,000 people.

Surveillance footage captured a ruptured water main exploding into a family’s yard in Granada Hills with a blast so powerful it even knocked out the camera.

“I’ve never seen something like that. I’ve seen it in movies, but not something that was you know experiencing seeing in my house in my backyard, so it was a scary moment for us,” said Granada Hills resident Lucy Nazarian.

Lucy came home to find a huge mess in her yard, caused by water that barreled through from the water main break at the intersection of Sesnon and Balboa Blvds.

“Fortunately, we’re not here and especially our grandkids, they always come swim outside, so if they were here, they’re small, you know, they were not going to survive this for sure,” said Nazarian.

According to LADWP, there was a temporary connection at this location that experienced a pressure spike, causing the connection to separate. This connection was meant to be de-watered tonight, and this break was unexpected. LADWP says this will not set them back too much; however, it will cause an extreme loss of pressure because crews have turned off the main to assess the damage.

“We are very concerned that if people continue to use the water that is coming out of their faucets today, it is going to delay the ability of the DWP to get the line back and restored and for your use of water to be back to normal,” said Mayor Karen Bass at a press conference Saturday.

LADWP says crews are working 24 hours a day to get water flowing again but it is a very tedious and complex process.

Until then, the Nazarian family is worried about the possibility of another water main break that could do even more damage.

“I don’t feel safe because I’m not sure if another one it’s gonna happen again, that’s one of them also, you know my concern,” said Nazarian.
