Crews work to repair burst water main on Crenshaw Boulevard in Hawthorne

Crews were working Monday to repair a ruptured water main on Crenshaw Boulevard in Hawthorne.

Traffic was diverted after the 4 a.m. rupture at El Segundo Boulevard, said John Dewey, a spokesman for  Golden State Water Co.

The flooding occurred near the border between Hawthorne and Gardena. There was no word on how long it would take to repair the damaged pipe.

The problem should not impact water service for Golden State’s clients, Dewey said.
