Topline:
The L.A. Department of Water and Power has launched an interactive online dashboard to help residents in areas covered by a "Do Not Drink" notice from the Palisades Fire keep track of where the restoration process stands.
Why it matters: LADWP water customers can put in their address in the Water Quality Restoration tool to find which the water service zone they're in, whether they're affected by the "Do Not Drink" notice and what stage their zone is in within the overall restoration process. Users can also access any available water quality testing data in their zone.
Where to find it: You can access the dashboard here.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
