LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AUG 6 – Emergency repairs at a pump station cut water to 9,200 customers in Granada Hills and Porter Ranch, with restoration expected by Friday morning, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, August 6, 2025, around 9,200 customers located within the neighborhoods bounded by Rinaldi Avenue, Balboa Boulevard, De Soto Avenue, and the nearby foothills experienced a water outage due to urgent repairs at a regional pump station.
  • A valve regulating water movement did not open during repair work at a pump station linked to a 10-million-gallon water tank on Tuesday, causing an outage.
  • Crews began excavating soil 20 feet underground to access the faulty valve, expecting the excavation to take 14 to 16 hours before repairs could start.
  • The Department of Water & Power urged customers to conserve water for 24 hours, recommended turning off sprinklers and appliances, and set up drinking water distribution at three local parks; Mayor Karen Bass said the city is mobilizing to address the outage and support affected residents.
  • LADWP anticipates completing repairs by Friday morning, August 8, while coordinating with fire and police departments to provide water tankers and ensure safety during restoration efforts.
