Palisades residents 40 days under DO NOT DRINK water notice
Pacific Palisades continues to experience water restrictions, the Do not Drink order issued January 10, 2025 remains in effect 40 days on. Residents and businesses located in zip code 90272 and adjacent communities north of San Vicente Boulevard are advised DO NOT DRINK OR COOK WITH THE TAP WATER---USE ONLY BOTTLED WATER.
Bottled water should be used for all drinking (including baby formula and juice), brushing teeth, washing dishes, making ice and food preparation, watering pets and domestic animals until further notice. Failure to follow this advisory could result in illness.
Due to the possibility for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including benzene in the water, the following additional cautions are made about the use of water for bathing, laundry and cleaning. Due to VOCs ability to vaporize and become airborne, residents are advised to:
Limit use of hot water
Limit shower time/bathing, and do not take hot baths (use lukewarm water and
ventilate area)
If using a dishwasher to wash dishes use the air-dry setting
Wash clothing in cold water
If the clothes dryer does not vent outside, avoid using it (dry laundry outdoors)
Do not use hot tubs or swimming pools
Use proper ventilation when using hot water indoors
DO NOT TREAT THE TAP WATER YOURSELF
Boiling, freezing, filtering, adding chlorine or other disinfectants, letting water stand, or
applying any other form of treatment will NOT make the water safe.
The notice will remain in effect until adequate water pressure can be re-established, required flushing of the distribution system can be performed, and water is tested and confirmed to be safe, this notice is in effect. It is possible that disease-causing organisms or other contaminants could be present. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches. If you experience any of these symptoms, please consult with your
healthcare professional as soon as possible.
LADWP will inform when tests show that water is safe to drink. The timing for resolving
this is unknown dependent on evolving conditions, performance of necessary system
flushing and testing in accordance with public safety protocols.
Please share this information with all other people who drink this water, especially those who
may not have received this public notice directly such as people in apartments, nursing
homes, schools, and businesses. You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or
distributing copies by hand or mail.
If you have questions about other uses of tap water, please contact us at 1-800-DIAL
DWP for 24-hour assistance. You may also contact the State Water Resources Control
Board District Office at (818) 551-2004.

E Manor St., Highview Ave., W Pine St., and E Pine St. Benzene results so far are as high as 22 parts
per billion (ppb). The current MCL is 1 ppb. These findings are being carefully evaluated, and mitigation
measures are in place to ensure water safety. The State Water Resources Control Board, Division of
Drinking Water; Los Angeles County Public Health Department; and the Lincoln Avenue Water
