A series of earthquakes in Santa Clarita may have played a role in the loss of thousands of gallons of water at two Los Angeles County Waterworks facilities, officials say. Just days after Governor Jerry Brown ordered state-wide reductions during one of the worst droughts in the state’s history, the Val Verde facilities lost a total of 82,000 gallons following a water pump malfunction. An agency spokesperson told CBS2/KCAL9 the problem started Friday night, when the malfunction caused tens of thousands of gallons to spew from the pump, shorting out the communications system on a nearby wall. http://cbsloc.al/1GFTDaK
