LOS ANGELES (AP) — Not a drop of rain has fallen on Los Angeles in nearly four months, and the main river that runs through the city looks more like a rain-starved trickle these days. But you wouldn’t know it from the wet images coming out of the city lately. Torrents of water have been sweeping cars off streets and barbeques out of backyards as aging water pipes have been bursting at a rate of more than one a day in recent weeks. A recent break in Studio City sprouted a gusher the size of Old Faithful, unleashing water 2 to 3 feet in streets, closing businesses, flooding homes and garages, and carrying away patio furniture. One water break created a sinkhole so big it nearly swallowed a fire truck. The number of breaks — 36 during the first three weeks of September — isn’t unusual for a city the size of Los Angeles, said James McDaniel, senior assistant general manager with the Department of Water and Power.
