SAN DIEGO — Several homes were flooded and cars were damaged Thursday morning following a water main break in the Nestor area.
The water main broke around 4 a.m. in the 2400 block of Grove Avenue, California American Water reported.
The water company was able to shut off the broken water main line.
One mother told CBS 8 that her Christmas was ruined as the water reached the presents under the tree.
"Last night when I came home from work I had wrapped some more gifts and put more under the tree and it’s all ruined," said Angie Rosales.
Although Nestor in the City of San Diego, it is California American Water Company's jurisdiction.
The California American Water company has responded to come and repair the water line and told residents on Grove Avenue to expect low water pressure, discolored water and even no water at all until the repairs are made.
A spokesperson for the water company says an aging line that was leaking burst leaving 100 customers without water until 4 p.m. He says they are in the final stages in receiving San Diego's approval to upgrade that water line.
The streets in the surrounding area remain close as crews continue to work on repairs.
