Pasadena Confirms Safe Drinking Water Quality for All PWP Water Customers, Lifts Do-Not-Drink-Water Notice

Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) in collaboration with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) on Friday lifted the Do-Not-Drink-Water Notice for the remaining areas in its water service territory impacted by the Eaton Fire. PWP and the SWRCB confirmed safe drinking water quality for PWP’s entire water service area.

PWP has its own water operations and construction crews, along with its own certified water quality lab, which enabled PWP to work around-the-clock to quickly bring Eaton Fire-impacted facilities back online and systematically perform extensive water quality testing to confirm safe drinking water quality. PWP is also working in close partnership with neighboring Kinneloa Irrigation District and other water agencies for continued safe and reliable water. PWP recognizes and appreciates the partnership and resilience of the community as we collectively recover from the devastating Eaton Fire.
