Water services were disrupted Wednesday to thousands of DWP customers in Granada Hills and Porter Ranch due to a valve that failed at one of the agency's pump stations.

San Fernando Valley

Approximately 9,000 households in the northern San Fernando Valley are experiencing a water outage due to a stuck underground valve, which utility crews are working to repair. The outage coincides with a heat wave, increasing concerns for residents and prompting a boil water advisory.

Local authorities have set up water distribution points and are preparing emergency resources, including water tenders for fire stations. Mobile shower and laundry units have arrived but are not yet operational. Efforts are underway to restore water service and direct supply from other districts, with repairs expected to be completed within 48 hours.

Water outage impacts northern San Fernando Valley residents

we're going to have to wait and see what happens when we get back to you, Susan. Thank you so much. Yeah, we want to head to Northridge. This is where one of the areas that's impacted by this water outage. And here we are in the middle of a heat wave, and now there's a boil water advisory in place. This is all because of some work being done by L A D W P. And here we go. Let's check in with Fox 11 Susan here soon alive there with more tonight, Susan. Yes, we're at this park in Northridge, and it's a hot spot. It's a hot spot. It's a hot spot, and it continues. It continues to about seven o'clock, although I do see a line of cars waiting to get their two cases of water. Now the other reason why there be concerned because of this water outages, as you said. This is a fire danger season and area for sure. So listen to some city leaders and hear what they have to say about how they are preparing for this situation. We are preparing for this situation. We are preparing for this situation. We are setting up water tenders and local fire stations to ensure that our first responders have the resources they need. Should emergency calls arise. We are committed. Protecting lives and property and remain fully prepared. Respond to any emergency during this destruction. All right, so no water for about 9000 households in this area, and that's because of the water outages that we've seen. We've seen as Friday. That's because a valve stuck underground and they have to dig 20 ft down to get to the valve to make them at the repair. The hope is the fix will be done by Friday. There's also an effort to direct water into the area from a different water district. In the meantime, just listen to the frustration. Like no one's gonna explain. It's hard to explain. It's hard to explain. It's hard to explain. It's hard to explain. It's hard to explain. Camp flush. Whoa Do you have a gym to go to the shower or whatever? I have Porter Valley Country Club, but that's not that's in this zone as well. No no water. And now they say when we won't get water until Friday, L. A DWP said. 24 to 48 hours, but yeah, 48 hours that would take you to Friday. Now I want to point out that here at this point, they're still working on it. They're still working on the shower unit set up and also another trailer with a succession of sinks and behind that that black trailer that's mobile laundry. So again, they recognize that people need water. And perhaps by tomorrow, this will be all set up for people to use if they need it reporting live in Porter Ranch. I'm Susan here with Suna Fox 11 news. So those mobile units just arrived, Susan, and they're not ready as yet. They're not ready. They're not ready. They're not ready. As far as I know, they're not ready as yet. We watched them being pulled in during the five o'clock news, so they pulled him in. They set up there, but there doesn't seem to be any sign that they're operational. Not as yet. I imagine the first most urgent issue is not being able to flush at your house. That is not good. All right, Susan.
