Loose Cap Sends Water Gushing 80 Feet In Downtown Walnut Creek

WALNUT CREEK (CBS SF) -- Thousands of gallons of water shot nearly 80 feet in the sky in downtown Walnut Creek early Thursday morning.

Police say a loose cap caused the gusher to spill water for nearly three hours shortly before midnight.

The area between southbound California Boulevard and Olympic Bouvelard was closed off until about 2:30 a.m. Thursday.

Crews were able to shut off the water and fix the cap two hours later. No business had any damage reported.
