Apple Computer Building Floods After Water Leak

Dec. 13 - BCN -- California Water Service Co. crews are cleaning up what's left of a major water leak that left more than a foot of water lining the floor of an Apple Computer Inc. building in Cupertino early this morning.

At one point more than 100 gallons of water per minute were flooding into the building from a leak under the first floor, a Santa Clara County Fire Department dispatcher said.

The leak was first reported at 12:55 a.m. today when a security guard called to report that water was coming out of a wall in the building, the dispatcher said. It was later determined that the leak was coming from under the building.

California Water Service Co. crews shut off water to the building at approximately 2:30 a.m. today and are working to clean up damaged areas of the building, the dispatcher said.
