NBC 7’s Matt Rascon reports from 13th Street between Palm and Dontax Avenues on Monday morning.
One of the main streets in Imperial Beach was closed to traffic Monday morning as city crews worked to repair a broken water pipe.
Flooding first appeared around 4 a.m. along a sidewalk on 13th Street between Donax and Palm Avenues, west of Interstate 5.
Since then, the road has caved in a bit, and crews were hammering into the street to find the source of the problem.
Work crews found a split in a cast iron pipe. They cut out that piece and installed a new piece in its place.
Approximately 20 customers were without water. Service was restored around 11:30 a.m., according to the water company.
As of 8 a.m., one lane in each direction of 13th had been opened to traffic. The road is expected to fully reopen late Monday afternoon.
