Ruptured water line floods multiple homes in Cupertino

A ruptured water line flooded multiple homes in Cupertino on Friday morning, according to the Santa Clara County Fire Department.

Flooding was reported shortly before 10 a.m. in the 10000 block of Scenic Boulevard after a construction crew doing excavation work struck an 8-inch water line, fire officials said.

Three homes had standing water throughout them. Five homes in all were impacted and had power shut down out of an abundance of caution, according to the Fire Department.

Street drains worked effectively and no pumping was needed to clear the water from the neighborhood. No injuries were reported as a result of the flooding, fire officials said.
