Overview

• More than 9,200 households are operating under emergency water measures after a valve failure cut off their main supply, and DWP expects full restoration by Friday.
• Mobile high-capacity pumps are supplying limited flow, and crews are excavating 20 feet underground to access and repair the faulty valve.
• Three bottled water distribution sites operate daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and residents are advised to boil tap water or use bottled supplies for drinking and cooking.
• DWP is working with the Metropolitan Water District and the Los Angeles Fire Department to resupply the main tank and develop contingency plans.
• Local leaders criticized the agency’s late notification, calling for clearer and more timely communication about the outage.
