Boiling notice during repairs is lifted, but agency tells customers to take other steps.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power lifted a “boil water” notice Tuesday afternoon for Granada Hills and Porter Ranch, ending a weeklong episode that saw residents’ taps run dry or slow to a trickle.
The DWP urged residents to flush out all water pipes and appliances before using the water.
About 9,200 households in the west San Fernando Valley were affected by a water service outage that started last week after DWP workers discovered a faulty valve, according to the agency.
