20 Million Gallons of Water Flood UCLA Campus (With Photos)

Its estimated that up 20 million gallons of water flooded UCLA’s campus on Tuesday when a 93-year-old water main busted, spewing water 30 feet into the air and sending water throughout many of the streets and buildings on campus.

While no injuries were reported, several campus buildings and facilities were flooded, notably the Pauley Pavilion athletic center, which was just recently renovated for $132 million. The Wooden Center and J.D. Morgan Center were other notable facilities that were badly damaged by the flood waters.

To make matters more complicated, the massive water main break comes at a time when Californians are being urged to conserve water due to the state’s drought-like conditions. Here’s a look at the widespread water damage in photos below. Needless to say, this is going to be one huge restoration job.
