Boil-water notice issued for section of Koreatown after test finds E. coli
Key takeaways
- The Los Angeles Department of Power and Water issued a boil-water notice on Wednesday for a two-block area of Koreatown after routine testing came back positive for E. coli, the department said.
- The positive test, which came on Tuesday, was from a single water quality testing station, and did not affect any other part of the water distribution system, the department said.
- Although there was no information on what caused the positive test result, officials said it was unrelated to the warehouse fire in Boyle Heights and that “fire-related contaminants” were not found in the water samples.
