Update: City, County Lift Boil-Water Alerts

A boil-water alert for certain areas of San Diego was lifted Sunday as the city's tap water was found to be free of contamination and safe
to drink.

The announcement came after two days of comprehensive tests from the Public Utilities Department and the California Department of Public Health, which detected no contaminants in city water.

The City of San Diego initially issued a boil water order to include
much of the city, from Otay Mesa to Rancho Bernardo. County officials then noted low water pressure from last week's blackout had made water possibly contaminated in some small water systems in East County and North County.

Those orders were also lifted Sunday by the county Department of Environmental Health, leaving no water contamination alerts in effect anywhere in either the city or county.
