Original story:

Residents at Laguna Lake Mobile Estates have been without running water since Tuesday evening after a 6-inch water main broke in the San Luis Obispo mobile home park.

The city provides the park at 1801 Prefumo Canyon Road with water, but the break happened on part of the park’s distribution system, San Luis Obispo Utilities Service technician Mychal Boerman said. He said the city received a report of the break about 3 p.m. Tuesday.

“The break was not a city-owned main but part of their distribution system,” he said Wednesday. “Our water distribution team showed up and turned off water to the property because the park did not have a way to isolate the leak.”

Boerman said the city started receiving calls Wednesday morning from residents without water. He recommended the park provide people with bottled water and portable toilets, which he said he believed “is on its way if it’s not there already.”

A manager who answered the phone at the mobile estate park about noon said she had no information to share at that time.

It’s unknown how long the park may be without water. Boerman said he believes the park has a contractor at the site.
