Palisades Tap Water a Little Fishy? DWP Explains.

If you live in the Pacific Palisades area you may have noticed that something is a little fishy these days when it comes to your tap water. Customers have reported "a disagreeable odor" at the tap. The LA DWP explains: "the odors are the result of a recent algal bloom in the Santa Ynez Reservoir which serves the Palisades." Next month the reservoir was due to be taken out of service to have a floating cover installed; a cover will "protect the quality of the water in it and prevent any future algal blooms." The DWP says the water might smell foul, but it remains safe to drink.
