A second water main break occurred last night in the Hollywood Hills, a few miles drive east from an earlier break. LADWP crews cleared the "slow leak" break on Packwood Trail off Mulholland Drive by 2:30 a.m., more ethan four hours after the break was reported. Earlier on Tuesday, a break prompted the closure of Mulholland Drive in the Sherman Oaks and Bel-Air Crest areas. Two others were reported in South L.A.




"It's settled down," said Joe Ramallo, a spokesman for the Department of Water and Power. "For October we're well back to normal and for September we saw an increase, but that very well may have been a statistical blip." (Source: LAT)
