SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Dozens of Grant Hill families were left without water for more than 24 hours after they say a water main broke Monday around 11 a.m. on L Street at 30th Street.
“The city did admit that a contractor working nearby had broken a pipe,” said Alec Mackenzie, who owns apartments on L Street and was notified by his tenants that they were without water.
10News reached out to spokesman for the city of San Diego multiple times for information, but did not immediately hear back Tuesday.
Mackenzie said 16 of his tenants went to bed and woke up without water, and so did everyone else on the block.
“I did have one new tenant move in officially yesterday,” said Mackenzie. “So, poor thing comes in and there’s no water, so that certainly makes me and my little studio look horrible.”
City crews brought out a potable water tanker Monday for families, but neighbors told 10News that ran dry by 10 p.m., leaving them with nothing until it was refilled the next day.
While 10News was at the scene, a crew replaced the empty tanker with a fresh one, and about an hour later, water bottles were brought out and set on the corner of L and 30th streets.
However, some neighbors at the far end of the street, away from the water tanker and bottles, were frustrated that they weren’t personally notified that bottled water was provided.
“I think it was a little irresponsible to not take some initiative and make sure everybody had water,” said Mackenzie.
“I would think they have the resources to say, ‘We need 10 tanks to get these people water,’” he continued. “You’ve got children, you’ve got to get to work, you’ve got to get a shower, brush your teeth, whatever.”
The streets were left muddy Tuesday after neighbors say they flooded Monday.
Crews were digging up the street and making repairs Tuesday for several hours as neighbors continued to wait for their water to be restored.
Mi auguro che tutto si risolva al più presto :snob:
