The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has issued a boil water notice as brush fires continue to ravage Southern California.The notice has been issued for Pacific Palisades and adjacent communities north of San Vicente Boulevard for the next 48 hours, the LADWP said.'This applies to water that is used for brushing teeth, making ice cubes, and food preparation such as washing produce,' the LAWDP's website said.
At a news conference Wednesday morning, Chief Executive Officer and Engineer Janisse Quiñones said the demand for LADWP has been 'tremendous.' She explained that they've pushed their water systems to extreme levels for several hours straight. With the increased use of the systems, the water pressure has lowered. Quiñones said as the pressure lowers the water quality also lowers. 'Please if you're going to be drinking water you need to boil the water,' she said.
