UDPATED MAP 08/26/2023 1:30 PM PTD
Regarding the County of San Diego’s Boil Water Advisory, customers in need can pick up bottled water at California American Water at 1025 Palm Ave. in Imperial Beach. Workers will be there until 9 pm Thursday, Aug. 23 or until water runs out, whichever comes first, and will resume water distribution Friday morning.
Officials are working on an updated map showing which areas are impacted by the boil water advisory, which will be published here once available. Meanwhile, impacted customers will be alerted by California American Water. The advisory is in effect for California American Water customers in the city of Imperial Beach, customers in the City of Coronado South of Fiddler’s Cove, certain customers within the City of San Diego neighborhoods of Nestor and Otay Mesa West, and portions of Southwest Chula Vista who are served by California American Water. (Note: customers in San Diego and Chula Vista who receive water elsewhere are not under alert.)
“The positive sample was drawn Wednesday at one of our sample sites in Imperial Beach,” said Brian Barreto, external affairs for California American Water. “We believe the issue is not system wide and it’s not in our water system. We feel that it may be the result of a bad water sample, and we’re in the process of taking additional samples to verify.”
The advisory was issued as a precautionary measure, and Barreto expects test results from additional samples back within 24 to 48 hours.
