Contaminated water because of fires?

As far as i know the only areas where you must boil your water is in hidden valley regions but if your unsure its always better to boil your water or drink from water bottles if they are available

There shouldn't be any boil water order unless the supply has been breached, which I haven't heard. You may have caught the tail end of an item about Montecito. They have had several supply issues up there, including broken mains. That would lead to contamination.

To be safe, call your city's info. line, or check their website. Any boil order will be posted there.

I Live in North Hollywood. The fires seem intense, I supose that its best to do what the news recommends I mean I rather drink boiled water rather than be hospitalized for drinking water.

The cool thing is my water is imported from a secret lake in Egypt

i live in santa barbara where we are having fires too and we have some of the same warnings in places. its because some pipes may have burst during the fire letting contaminates in so if your in an area that suggests boiling your water then i would do so. just boil water in a kettle and add it to your cup of noodle.

i saw he same thing you did. it said that if you need to drink water, boil it for at least 5 minutes before drinking, or in ur case making a cup of noodles. lol. there not really sure, but u deffinetly shoul just in case. goodluck! :D

I am not sure. One of my sisters lives in Brea near the 57 and she was forced to leave the house with her two small girls and two large dogs. Good luck to you
