“We received a report of an open flowing hydrant,” said Lua, adding that there was no report of injuries or a traffic collision having caused the broken hydrant.  

Crews successfully cut the flow of water off within minutes of their arrival, and cleared the scene at approximately 1:30 p.m.  

Santa Clarita Valley Water had been called out to the scene to help assess the situation, Lua added.
