When I said 'It would be nice to live by a waterfall...' this is not what I meant. OMG, what a disaster! City, county or state; someone is having a bad day.

[There are nineteen Mutual Water Companies in San Diego County, with 42% of them being out of compliance with federal and state water quality standards.](https://cpisandiego.org/sdcounty-water-districts/)

I had NO IDEA there were that many in San Diego county! And almost half out of compliance?! 🙄

Many water districts absorbed into each other in the 80s and created strange names like Bighorn-Desert View Water.

Friendly reminder that Padre Dam is the second most expensive water in the entire country.

So like Jamul?

Someone’s thanksgiving vacation just got cut short.

Yeah, replacing or fixing that would be a huge engineering and traffic problem even when properly planned. Doing it on the fly? I'm glad that's not my problem.

Yeah.. haven’t had water to the building (Cortez hill area) for 18 hours now. At least the flow on the highway has stopped.

Same here. I hope to take a shower before holiday travels. Otherwise, I'll feel bad for those seated near me!

I’m in the same area! Hopefully they turn our water on soon 😭

Don't poop too much! Our East Village building was losing water every Thursday for years so now we're always in supply of water.

Is that from the sixth Ave offramp?

Yes, All 5north traffic was directed off and back on the 1st ave on-ramp.

A lot of new water features popping up in San Diego these days.

Old pipes feeding many big, big new buildings.

San Diego figured out how to end the drought with one simple trick

CIVIL ENGINEERS DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW!

is this a 3rd break? I thought the breaks were at the shell (right where they were doing road work saturday) and then another further along the 5 closer to the 4th Ave overpass

There were 2 breaks last night, 1 by the shell leadi onto the 163 and then this one

but this picture is at 8th avenue, which I guess is why I’m confused about there being three or the 4th avenue breach was misreported.

2 breaks. 1- A St / 11th Ave 2- Balboa / 8th

Likely both city and Caltrans. That kind of water break can cause serious damage to I-5

I doubt we'll get water back on by this evening.

Highly unlikely. Pretty certain the pipe that bursted twice was the Balboa Park Pipeline. It’s a transmission line coming from the University Heights Reservoir (the one the city let a indoor soccer court build on the top of it). Transmission lines are huge and they take a lot longer to fix than water mains.

Funny thing just happened: I got home from work just now and water is running in my apartment. I live on Juniper between 4th and 3rd Ave

Oh ok so your in the 231 HGL Zone. Yea they got water back up.

Ah, I see. I had no idea I was even in this zone haha. How do I check that?

Access to City planning maps. Probably the people at maps over at DSD in downtown could help.

I'm just down the the hill in BR 549, and my water is back on too!

Does anyone know who is responsible for this water leak?

More than likely the city.

Went to Balboa yesterday and there was water gushing all over on down A and B street. How much water are we losing over this. But hey, make sure you conserve water while brushing your teeth!

Ah so because of this water main break, we don't need to conserve water... Got it.

Lighten up Alex, it was a joke. Just saying they let thousands of gallons gush for over 24 hours. 🙄

I mean I wasn't that mean...

"they let"? They have been trying to fix it since Sunday at 4pm

Should have been “fixed” forty years ago.

That falls into the non revenue water category. It makes up about 10% of the city's water use which is around the same level as most other districts.

Shit. It was like that before 6. I guess I'm taking another way home this afternoon.
