City of Pasadena issues unsafe water alert
The city of Pasadena has issued an unsafe water alert, warning people not to drink tap water.
The city's water system in the Eaton Fire evacuation areas could possibly have debris and elevated turbidity, the city said.
Residents are being asked not to drink tap water and to drink bottled water only.
"Bottled water should be used for all drinking (including baby formula and juice), brushing teeth, washing dishes, making ice, and food preparation until further notice," the city's alert said. "This also applies to pets and domestic animals."
The city is also urging people not to try to treat the water themselves.
Officials said boiling, freezing, filtering, adding chlorine or other disinfectants, or letting water stand will not make the water safe.
Pasadena Water and Power will inform residents the water is safe to use again, but that will depend on the fire, wind, and other conditions.
For more information, you can call Pasadena Water and Power's 24-hour emergency line at 626-744-4138.
