Six units at a West Seattle apartment complex were evacuated after a water main break on Friday evening.

Seattle Public Utilities crews were called to the 2200 block of Southwest Holden Street to get the water main break under control.

Some customers lost water pressure in the area.



Chopper 7 flew over the scene and water was seen explosively shooting in the air.

There is no word on when service will be restored.

Crews are working to determine what caused the break and the extent of the damage to apartments in the area.
