The do-not-drink water order will be lifted on Friday for standing structures in the Pacific Palisades, Mayor Karen Bass announced on Thursday.
“Just to give you a comparison, in the tragic Camp Fire, it took 18 months. It was done here in two [months],” Bass said. “Last month we restored power. This month we restored water.”
Customers are being advised to run the water from all of their faucets for 10 minutes to fully clear the lines before drinking the water.

The Palisades Fire broke out on Jan. 7 and destroyed more than 6,800 structures and damaged over 970 structures, according to CalFire.
