Emergency repairs at a Los Angeles Department of Water and Power pump station have caused water supply disruption for around 9,200 households in Granada Hills and Porter Ranch. The outage was triggered by a valve failure that prevented water from flowing from a 10-million-gallon tank. DWP is establishing water distribution sites and coordinating resupply with the Metropolitan Water District. Despite recommendations for conservation, the high demand led to a drained tank early Wednesday morning.
Emergency repairs at an L.A. Department of Water and Power pump station left approximately 9,200 households in Granada Hills and Porter Ranch without water. A valve failure during repairs halted water flow from a 10-million-gallon tank to local pipes.
DWP has set up water distribution centers and is coordinating with the Metropolitan Water District for resupply efforts. Urgent water conservation was recommended, but high demand and reduced flow drained the tank by morning.
