Do-Not-Drink Water Advisory Continues For Palos Verdes Estates Residents

PALOS VERDES ESTATES (CBSLA.com/AP) — Residents of about 200 homes in the Los Angeles County city of Palos Verdes Estates were told for a second day not to drink or cook with their tap water after locks were found broken on a storage tank.

California Water Service issued the warning Monday after the breach was discovered by workers doing routine maintenance on the 50,000 gallon tank.

Agency officials said Tuesday that initial testing has not revealed any problems with the water, but they're advising residents to avoid drinking it out of an abundance of caution until the advisory is lifted.

Affected areas include:

-- the 600 block of Horquilla Lane;
-- the 600 block of Via Horquilla;
-- parts of the 2700-2800 block of Via Campesina;
-- the 2700 block of Via Elevado;
-- the 700-800 block of Via Somonte;
-- part of the 700 block of Via Del Monte;
-- the 800 block of Via Conejo;
-- the 1800 block of Via Arriba;

-- the 1700 block of Pablo Place;
-- the 1700 block of Via Montetemar;
-- parts of the 1500-1700 block of Via Lazo.

The state Division of Drinking Water was investigating the incident with local law enforcement.

Residents were told to drink bottled water and save their receipts for reimbursement.

Officials said security at the site would be increased in the future.
