Two water main breaks in Walnut Creek area

Two water main breaks occurred in the Walnut Creek area early Saturday morning, according to the East Bay Municipal Utility District.

The first occurred in unincorporated Contra Costa County, where a 6-inch cast iron main pipe burst just outside of the Walnut Creek city limits at 1:15 a.m. today, according to EBMUD spokeswoman Tracie Morales.

Forty-three customers are affected by that break, Morales said.

The second occurred within the city limits near the intersection of Walnut Boulevard and Ygnacio Valley Road and was reported at 2:46 a.m. 

Morales said both water main breaks will be repaired today and are both currently under investigation.
