Water Main Breaks Expose LA's Aging Infrastructure Crisis A massive water main break on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood has left a trail of destruction, with widespread flooding, sinkholes, and disrupted traffic reported.
The 100 year old pipe that failed is just one example of Los Angeles' aging infrastructure woes. The city's inadequate investment in its water management systems over the years has contributed to this crisis.
While officials scramble to repair the damaged pipeline, questions are being raised about the long term sustainability of LA's aging infrastructure.
