Pacific Palisades Fires: Correcting Misinformation about LADWP’s Water System

LADWP Windstorm Response Update : Saturday, January 11, 2025: 3:00 PM

January 11, 2025

As of 3 PM, crews have restored power to 352,632 customers since the start of the windstorm.    

 There are 118 crews working to restore power and PG&E mutual aid crews are supporting our efforts.    

 Our crews prioritize downed wire safety first – if you see a downed wire STAY AWAY and DIAL 911.     

Our crews continue to focus on the longest-duration outages and ask for our customers’ patience as our crews work in hazardous conditions to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.   

 As of 3 PM, 26,139 out of LADWP’s 1.5 million electric customers are without power—6,900 of those are customers located in the Palisades fire area.     

The communities with the most impacted customers are the Pacific Palisades, Brentwood and Los Feliz in the Metro area and Pacoima, Sun Valley and Tarzana in the Valley.  

It may take crews 48 hours to respond to an outage, with longer response times in some areas requiring complex repairs. Customers without power who are within or near fire impacted areas, may also experience extended outages of a longer duration due to damage to our equipment or the inability of crews to physically access the equipment or the area, to begin restoration.  

BOIL WATER NOTICE FOR PALISADES HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A “DO NOT DRINK” NOTICE IN EFFECT FOR ZIP CODE 90272 and ADJACENT AREA    

A Do Not Drink Notice was issued Friday at noon for Pacific Palisades 90272 zip code and the area north of San Vicente Blvd under evacuation orders as required by state regulators for public health and safety.    

People located in the 90272 Zip code and area north of San Vicente Boulevard should not drink or cook with the tap water until the notice is lifted. Residents are advised to limit the use of hot water and follow important instructions in the notice.      

We will inform our customers when the water is safe to drink.     

LADWP will be distribute bottled water to affected customers at two locations:      

  • Westwood Recreation Center – Open 24 hours  
  • Adjacent to the Brentwood Country Club  
    • Saturday, January 11, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
    • Sunday, January 12 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
    • **NEW** Monday, January 13 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

  More info about DO NOT DRINK notice and important instructions at ladwp.com.   

 SUPPORTING FIRE RESPONSE   

LADWP’s open-air reservoirs, including Hollywood Reservoir, Lower Stone Canyon and the Encino Reservoirs continue to be available to support CALFIRE and LAFD’s aerial firefighting efforts.   

To support firefighting efforts, water crews are in the Pacific Palisades area shutting off water supply to leaking fire hydrants and customer connections that have been destroyed or unoccupied to help with maintaining water pressure.  

To assure LADWP customers about the department’s continued commitment to providing safe and reliable water and power to our customers, read this statement correcting misinformation about our support of firefighting efforts. Any assertion that fire hydrants in the Pacific Palisades were broken before the Palisades fire is misleading and false.
