Police found clothes near the city reservoir after a reported break-in, prompting officials to issue the water warning.
Nearly half of the residents in Santa Paula cannot use their tap water for drinking or cooking because of a possible contamination at a city reservoir. City officials warned the affected residents that they should use only bottled water for drinking, brushing their teeth, making ice and preparing food after a reported break-in at the city's main reservoir storage, officials said in a news release on Monday.
On Monday afternoon, employees at the city reservoir discovered that someone had crossed a security perimeter at the storage site. City employees immediately shut off the main water supply from the water tank that provides a portion of the city's water to prevent the spread of any potential contamination, officials said. Santa Paula police officers arrived at the reservoir to investigate reports of a possible trespasser.
