PASADENA (CNS) – Pasadena Water and Power officials Monday extended the Do-Not-Drink-Water Notice due to facilities that were affected by the Eaton Fire.
Officials said that with continued urgent repair of impacted facilities, along with “systematic extensive testing confirming drinking water quality in remaining impacted areas,” the notice will be extended.
First issued Jan. 8, the PWP and the State Water Resources Control Board have further confirmed safe drinking water quality in additional areas previously under the notice. An updated map of impacted areas can be found at PWPweb.com/WaterNotice.
“As PWP has its own operations and construction crews, along with its own certified water quality lab, PWP continues to quickly bring back online impacted facilities and perform subsequent water quality testing, confirming safe drinking water in those areas,” officials said in a statement.
Officials advised not to drink or cook with tap water. Attempting to treat, boil, freeze, filter or add chlorine or other disinfectants to the water will not make it safe to drink.
Safety tips when showering with the water in the identified impacted areas can be found on the PWP’s website.
“The update to the Do-Not-Drink-Water Notice reflects a further reduction of impacted PWP water accounts to approximately 4% of service connections impacted. PWP is committed to providing safe, reliable drinking water for all customers,” officials said.
PWP water crews are working to confirm the safety of the drinking water for impacted customers who remain under the Do-Not-Drink-Water Notice.
A lift date regarding the notice was not immediately available.
