A river of water flooded through Wilmington streets Friday, damaging a construction site and sending muddy looking water flowing as the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power worked to turn the flow off.
The flooding began around 2 p.m. in the 400 block of North Avalon Boulevard.
The pavement had buckled near a utility pole, sending it toppling over. Water continued to bubble up to the surface at 4 p.m.
There were no reports of any injuries, LA City Fire said.
