MALIBU—On Wednesday, August 6, the city of Malibu announced that a Boil Water Notice was in effect after the Los Angeles County Waterworks District No. 29 (LACWD) recently experienced a low-pressure event as a result of a Caltrans bridge replacement project at Solstice Canyon Creek.
The State Water Resources Control Board – Division of Drinking Water and LACWD are advising all its customers to only use boiled tap water or bottled water for drinking and cooking purposes as a safety precaution to avoid stomach or intestinal illness.
Individual should not ingest the tap water or provide it to their pets/ livestock until it is safe to do so and follow the preparation instructions below.
The affected area includes customers within the following areas:
-West of Corral Canyon Rd. and Solstice Canyon Rd
-Excluding customers residing at Trancas Canyon and Latigo Canyon
Partner agencies will inform the public when tests show that water is safe to drink and you no longer need to boil your water. They are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
