The warning is stark: “Do not drink or cook with the tap water … Do not treat the tap water yourself,” typed in all caps and boldface. The alert, issued January 10 by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, also advises people not to take hot baths or long showers. It’s directed at residents of the Pacific Palisades and other neighborhoods near the Palisades Fire.

It’s the latest in a series of water advisories issued this week in places affected by the unprecedented Southern California wildfires, which are still burning.
