this area and they have heavy machinery coming in. they will break everything down and get down to the pipe. you can see the force of the water and how it pushed down the rocks and sent them down the street. it was quite a mess. this was just after 5:00 this morning when this happened. the water actually went down waller street, turned the corner at scott and went down to haight and pulled up there causing a big mess along the street for a good amount of time before they were able to turn off the water. the problem now, they have to fix the problem and neighbors say this has happened before. >> flew out there. flew out -- through out right there and right there. >> reporter: and you lost water for how long? >> it happened twice. i don't know. usually we're out for half a day and they get it on but the hole was in the street for two or three months.

>> reporter: now, most of the water stayed in the street but edward showed us a side room no near his house where the water went through inside. not a big mess but enough water came in that they were a little concerned that there might be a little bit of damage. cleanup won't take long. when we talk about this happening before, let me show you pictures of november of 2012 on this same street, there was a huge sinkhole and a truck fell into the sinkhole. it was pretty spectacular. neighbors say it took a couple of months to get the sinkhole cleared up and the pipes fixed. if we come back out here live, you can actually still see the area of the street on waller where that was dug out and cut out. so you can see where that happened. literally just a few feet from where we're standing now. so not sure how all of this is connected but certainly this is a street that's seen problems and the water crews say they will be out here for most of the morning. they don't expect water to be
