After issuing a boil water notice, Long Beach city officials said they were setting up water distribution centers to give away free bottled water.
After a significant water main break caused the water pressure to drop, the city had to follow the state guidelines to issue a boil water notice, Mayor Rex Richardson said in a news conference Thursday.Those who want to receive free bottled water will need to bring their utility bill to the water distribution center to prove that they live in the impacted area.While the boil water notice was in effect, people were urged not to drink tap water or use it for food preparation unless boiled.
As the state was testing the water sample from the city, those who live in the 90805, 90806 and 90807 zip codes were urged to boil all drinking water, including filtered water from the fridge, before drinking it.
