PASADENA, Calif.- After urgent repair of several Eaton Fire-impacted facilities and extensive testing confirming drinking water quality, Pasadena Water and Power ("PWP") is updating the Do-Not-Drink-Water Notice initially issued January 8, 2025. PWP and the State Water Resources Control Board ("SWRCB") have confirmed drinking water quality in majority of the areas previously under the Do-Not-Drink-Water Notice. For an updated map of impacted areas, visit PWPweb.com/WaterNotice.

As PWP has its own operations and construction crews, along with its own certified water quality lab, PWP was able to quickly bring back online several of the impacted facilities and perform subsequent water quality testing, confirming safe drinking water in those areas.

Areas that remain under the Do-Not-Drink-Water Notice are advised to not drink or cook with the tap water. Attempting to treat, boil, freeze, filter or add chlorine or other disinfectant to the water will not make it safe to drink.

The update to the Do-Not-Drink-Water Notice reflects a reduction of impacted PWP water accounts from approximately 36% of service connections impacted to 5%. PWP is committed to providing safe, reliable drinking water for all customers. PWP water crews are working around-the-clock to confirm the safety of the drinking water for impacted customers who remain under the Do-Not-Drink-Water Notice. PWP appreciates the mutual aid received from the Metropolitan Water District and other area water agencies.
