Thank you to our affected customers for conserving water while our crews restored service
LOS ANGELES (October 13, 2026) – LADWP crews have completed the repair work on the leaking air vacuum valve connected to the Westgate Trunk Line in Brentwood. With the completion of repairs, all water service in the area has been restored, and W. Sunset Boulevard has fully reopened with all traffic impacts lifted.
While water conservation is a way of life for Angelenos, the urgent call for conservation has concluded as normal water service operations have resumed. LADWP extends its appreciation to customers in the Pacific Palisades and Brentwood communities for voluntarily conserving water during this response. Their efforts helped maintain system pressure and supported stable service while repairs were underway.
Since Friday afternoon, LADWP crews worked around the clock to isolate the affected section of the pipe, stop the leak, stabilize the pipeline, and begin restoring the surrounding area. Water service has remained safe and reliable throughout this incident due to extensive planning, backup systems and support from partner agencies.
From the start, our priority has been to protect public safety, maintain reliable water service, and restore the affected infrastructure as safely and efficiently as possible with minimal impact to our customers. To do this, our team developed and tested innovative and complex operational supply plans to facilitate the repairs and keep the system running.
We also acknowledge the exceptional commitment of our field crews, operations personnel, and emergency coordination teams. Their dedication reflects LADWP’s mission to safeguard critical infrastructure and ensure dependable water service for all Angelenos.
