Sunset Blvd Reopens After Major Water Break | Long Beach News

Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood is back open after a catastrophic water main break dumped 17 million gallons—flooding streets, wrecking garages, and forcing a weeklong emergency fix. Instead of patching leaks that kept reappearing, crews smartly rerouted water through a smaller pipe, replacing a valve to reopen the street while tackling the root problem. The damage? Massive—cars tossed, businesses shuttered, sidewalks cracked. LADWP’s now speeding up a $400M trunk line replacement (originally slated for 2031) that’ll take four years, with traffic and community planning at the core. The cause? Still under investigation. In the meantime, West Hollywood’s suspending parking rules—including street sweeping and permits—in affected zones until August 1st to ease the burden on residents.
