Repairs are continuing March 1 on a break in a water main that flooded an alley and left some homes without water when it ruptured in Mission Beach the evening of Feb. 29. Utility crews were sent to an alley off the 800 block of Seagirt Court near Mission Boulevard after water was seen shooting up into the air at around 6 p.m. Neighbors said it started with water bubbling from the ground before the geyser exploded and shot into the air for hours. One home, an alley and some nearby parking garages were flooded, and the water caused a small sinkhole in the roadway. Public utilities officials were concerned that a sinkhole could also form underneath the home as well. San Diego Fire-Rescue crews evacuated the resident from the home. He says two of his cats are missing. “There’s one of my bikes, floating,” the man told a local television station. “Everything is kind of sinking, and the house is not lining up.” As of 6 a.m. March 1, crews were working to drain water from the flooded area while they continued repairs. An inspector was expected to examine the foundation of the home and determine if it was safe. — 10 News
