30-foot sinkhole repaired in San Francisco's West Portal

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Crews are out repairing a 30-foot sinkhole and cleaning up debris caused by a major water main break in San Francisco.

On Wednesday morning a massive rush of water and mud damaged a dozen vehicles and almost two dozen homes in the West Portal neighborhood.

Two of those homes are yellow-tagged, meaning access is restricted until their foundations can be repaired.

A 16-inch cast iron water main broke early Wednesday morning.

15th Avenue from West Portal Avenue to Wawona Street is closed to finish repairs to the sinkhole.
