rain washed away the hillside under the road, causing it to crumble. neighbors tell us because it is a private road, homeowners will be responsible for fixing it. and today will be another day of bottled water for people living in 160 homes near pleasanton. crews will need at least one more day to repair a water main on pleasant hill ridge. a landslide shifted the ground and that breck the pipe yesterday morning. the water district says as a precaution, nearby residents who do have tap water should not drink it, even though district officials say the water is not contaminated. we also just checked with clear lake officials, and despite the rain there are no serious problems to report this morning. the water, however, is above flood stage level so water is running over the spillway there. looks like was bathtub faucet. flood stage is 9 feet. officials say there hasn't been a lot of rain there overnight and they're certainly hoping it stays that way.
