Summary
- Tap water in Koreatown is now safe after E. coli contamination.
- A boil-water notice affected approximately 460 residents.

Tap water in a specific two-block area of Koreatown is now safe for consumption, marking the end of a recent E. coli contamination scare. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) lifted the boil-water advisory on Thursday afternoon.
This advisory had impacted approximately 460 residents, who were instructed to boil water or use bottled alternatives for drinking, cooking, and hygiene. The notice was initially issued Wednesday after routine testing revealed E. coli in the water supply.
The LADWP confirmed the water's safety following thorough testing and subsequent reporting to the California Division of Drinking Water. This ensures residents can resume normal use of their tap water.
