A\u00a014-inch water main broke and flooded at least\u00a0three homes\u00a0in Gardena early Saturday.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0water main break\u00a0was reported\u00a0shortly after 3 a.m. at 134th Street and Budlong Avenue<\/a>, said Los Angeles County\u00a0Fire Dispatch Supervisor Bernard Peters.\u00a0He said three residential units were damaged from the flooding.<\/p>\n

Repair crews with Golden State Water Co.<\/a> were called to the scene to shut off the water. At least one home had about a foot of standing water inside, said\u00a0John Dewey, a spokesman for the company. He said a claims adjuster was helping the displaced families with their living arrangements. <\/p>\n

"We’re working with them to cover any of their damages," Dewey said. <\/p>\n

A portion of Budlong Avenue was closed to traffic as crews repaired the cast-iron main. Water also remained shut off for about 40 residents. <\/p>\n

[Updated 3:31 p.m.:<\/strong> Crews finished repairs to the damaged main by early Saturday afternoon. Officials also said the repairs did not require that they shut off service to the 40 residents.]<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

"We’re hoping to return water service by this evening," Dewey said. <\/p>\n

The water main break was the second to occur in Gardena within about 24 hours. The first break was\u00a0reported about 3 a.m.\u00a0on Friday at Marine Avenue near Normandie Avenue, Dewey said, adding that no damages were reported. About 30 customers were affected by the break as repair crews worked on the 6-inch cast-iron main. Water was later restored to those customers, Dewey said.<\/p>\n
