The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has launched an interactive Water Quality Restoration Dashboard to provide essential updates and information for residents affected by the “Do Not Drink” notice in effect in most portions of Pacific Palisades and adjacent LADWP service areas.

“As customers throughout Pacific Palisades begin the recovery process and our water system staff work to flush, test the water and work to lift the ‘Do Not Drink’ notice in effect in the area, this new online tool puts timely and transparent information at our customers’ fingertips,” LADWP CEO and chief engineer Janisse Quiñones said.

Customers in the affected areas can use the dashboard to locate their address on an interactive map and determine their corresponding water service zone. For added clarity, the dashboard specifies each zone’s current restoration status and provides preliminary test results and progress updates for testing in each zone. Residents can easily check if their address is within the impacted area.

The online tool also identifies each step of the restoration process and how the LADWP is working with regulators to meet standards. Property owners can access updated health-based water quality testing data by zone.

The LADWP is working with the California State Water Resources Control Board’s Division of Drinking Water to systematically flush, clean and test the water system in the affected areas. A rigorous and thorough process of sampling and retesting ensures that water meets all regulatory quality standards before the “Do Not Drink” notice is lifted.

Residents are reminded that the “Do Not Drink” notice remains in effect for impacted areas and bottled water should be used for drinking, food preparation, brushing teeth and making ice. Complimentary bottled water is available at designated LADWP distribution locations. For information and to use the Water Quality Restoration Dashboard, visit ladwp.com/palisadeswq.
