Boil-water notice issued for section of Koreatown after E. coli found
The Los Angeles Department of Power and Water issued a boil-water notice on Wednesday for a two-block area of Koreatown after routine testing came back positive for E. coli, the department said. The positive test, which came on Tuesday, was from a single water quality testing station, and did not affect any other part of the water distribution system, the department said. Although there was no information on what caused the positive test result, officials said it was unrelated to the warehouse fire in Boyle Heights and that “fire-related contaminants” were not found in the water samples.
