   Quiñones, attributed the issue to an unprecedented strain on the water   
   system.   
      
   “Four times the normal demand was seen for 15 hours straight, which   
   lowered our water pressure,” Quiñones continued.   
      
   “If there’s a message you take away from me today, is, I need our   
   customers to really conserve water — not just in the Palisades area, but   
   the whole system because the fire department needs the water to fight   
   the fires,” Quiñones added.   
      
   She added, per Santa Monica Daily Press, “We’re fighting a wildfire with   
   urban water systems, and that is really challenging… The utility has   
   deployed 20 water tanks from construction crews to support firefighting   
   operations, with tankers making 30-minute round trips to refill.   
      
   “Because we’re pushing the water system so hard, our water quality is   
   decreasing. So we’re going to be issuing a boil water notice this   
   morning, and I will extend for about 48 hours. The water quality is low.   
   We have a lot of ash in the system, and so please, if you’re going to be   
   drinking water, you need to boil the water.”   
      
   Quiñones also assered that the system will need to adapt as “climate   
   change” makes fires like these more frequent.   
      
   “How are we going to change the way we operate our water systems for   
   events like this? This is an unprecedented event,” she said.   
      
   “I think the 2011 winds was significant from a power perspective, but   
   the fires have really increased the response complexity of this. We had   
   crews trying to mitigate this, and we had to evacuate. We worked with   
   the fire department to try to get back in and try to fill the tanks   
   again. It wasn’t safe to do so. So you’re managing the fires, you’re   
   managing the power outage, and you’re managing the water needs …. So   
   yes, we have to look at our system from a climate resiliency as a   
   region, and it’s going to be more than just DWP, it’s all the water   
   agencies here, including the county.”   
      
   Just three months ago, when Trump appeared on the Joe Rogan Podcast, he   
   talked to Joe about the ongoing issue of water dispersal in California   
   and about how the state could stop wildfires by clearing dead trees from   
   forests.   
      
   He suggested that the state actually has more than enough water to deal   
   with these and other issues such as farming, but progressive   
   environmental policies are standing in the way.   
      
   On Wednesday, Trump blasted Newsom on Truth Social.   
      
   “Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration   
   declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons   
   of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily   
   into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently   
   burning in a virtually apocalyptic way,” Trump wrote.   
      
   “He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by   
   giving it less water (it didn’t work!), but didn’t care about the people   
   of California, he added. “Now the ultimate price is being paid.”   
      
   “I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean,   
   fresh water to FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA! He is the blame for this. On top of   
   it all, no water for fire hydrants, not firefighting planes. A true   
   disaster!”   
      
   Mayor Bass, who was abroad in Ghana when the fires began, has faced   
   additional criticism for her absence during the crisis. She returned to   
   Los Angeles on Wednesday but declined to answer questions regarding her   
   absence and previous budget cuts to the LAFD.   
      
   According to the New York Post, “The water shortage was the result of   
   years of mismanagement of LA’s water system — including a federal   
   indictment of a leader and high profile resignations — as well as major   
   operational problems that drained reserves too quickly.”
