fighting a wildfire with urban water systems, and that is really challenging. What happened in Palisades? We have three large water tanks, about a million gallons each. We ran out of water in the first tank at about 4.45 PM yesterday. We ran out of water on the second tank about 8.30 PM, and the third tank about 3 AM this morning.

Those tanks help with the pressure on the fire hydrants and the heels of palisades. And because we were pushing so much water in our trunk line, and so much water was being used before it can get to the tanks, we were not able to fill the tanks fast enough. So the consumption of water was faster than we can provide water in our trunk line.

So I wanna make sure that you understand there's water on the trunk line. It just cannot get up the hill because we cannot fill the tanks fast enough. 48 hours, the water quality is low, we have a lot of ash in our system. And so please, if you're gonna be drinking water, you need to boil the water.

You're fighting a wildfire with a fire hydrant system. Fire hydrants are not made to fight multiple houses, hundreds of houses at a time.
