Water main break causes flooding in SF's Castro District, some residents without water service

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Fire crews are repairing an 8-inch water main break that caused some flooding in San Francisco's Castro District on Sunday.

It happened just after 8:30 a.m.

People are advised to avoid Collingwood and 19th streets.

The San Francisco Public Utility Commission said customers on Collingwood Street between 18th & 19th are currently without water service.

It's unknown when water service will be restored.
