Water service has been restored to thousands of residents in the Granada Hills and Porter Ranch communities almost a week after service was disrupted, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power says.
Residents were left without water after crews found a water valve that would not open while doing emergency repair work at a pump station that connects to a 10-million-gallon water tank.
The LADWP says even though water service has been fully restored as of 2:37 a.m. on Monday, the Boil Water Notice remains in effect. They urge residents to continue to boil tap water before using it or to use bottled water instead.
