A broken main sent a torrent of water down a hillside in Sherman Oaks, flooding streets and some yards and filling a swimming pool with mud.
Department of Water and Power spokeswoman Maychelle Yee says the eight inch pipe burst Sunday afternoon near Valley Vista Boulevard.
DWP crews worked with Los Angeles firefighters to drain water and mud from a number of yards.
Several houses were briefly threatened with flooding but there are no reports of water inside any structures. The water flow was stopped after about an hour. No injuries were reported.
Streets in the area were shut down because of flooding and broken pavement.
Yee says at least 40 customers will be without water for a few hours while the pipe is repaired.
