IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER

DO NOT DRINK – DO NOT BOIL YOUR WATER RESOLUTION
To all residents: The drinking water in Sierra Madre is safe for all uses.

As a result of the Eaton Fire, and in an abundance of caution, On Thursday, January 14, 2025 the City of Sierra Madre, State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water (SWRCB DDW) and Los Angeles County Health Department issued a “Do Not Drink-Do not Boil Water” Advisory to affected residents in Sierra Madre. The notice was in affect for residents on Grandview and North of Grandview.
The Eaton Fire did not cause any damage to the City’s critical water infrastructure. The “Do Not Drink-Do Not Boil Your Water” notice was issued as a precaution to allow the City to conduct additional water quality testing and confirm that the fire did not affect the City’s water quality.
Comprehensive water samples have been collected and tested by a third party laboratory and the results confirm that Sierra Madre’s water meets all State and Federal water safety drinking  standards, and there were no impacts to drinking water from the fire. Therefore, the State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water (SWRCB DDW) has authorized the removal of the “Do Not Drink-Do Not Boil Your Water” Advisory, effective Friday, January 24, 2025.   The drinking water in Sierra Madre is safe for all uses. 
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
 
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this public notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
