According to CNN, the city of Pasadena has issued an urgent warning about unsafe drinking water in areas affected by the Eaton fire.
Pasadena’s water and power systems may be at risk due to “trash and increased turbidity,” prompting officials to advise residents to refrain from drinking tap water
Local residents are advised to rely exclusively on bottled water for all consumption, including drinking, cooking, brushing teeth and caring for pets.
Attempts to treat water – by boiling, filtering or adding disinfectants – are considered ineffective and dangerous.
