FRESNO, Calif. (KMPH) -

Residents of a Fresno neighborhood were dealing with a wet and muddy mess Monday afternoon after a water main broke, flooding streets and sidewalks.

It happened in the Sunnyside area, near Pitt and McMillin avenues.

City crews said they planned to tear apart a street to fix the 14-inch water main. They said the main was installed in 2005.

15 homes were expected to not have water for a while.

It's still not known what caused the rupture.
