I don't know how well publicized this is, since I'm not in LA, but it landed in my inbox and I wanted to get the info out to any of my friends who live in LA and might not watch the news.

>To the UCLA Community:
>
>A leak in a major water main this afternoon -- at the Lower Stone
>Canyon Reservoir, near campus -- may affect the safety of drinking
>water until early Friday night.
>
>The California Department of Health Services, along with the Los
>Angeles Department of Water and Power, are advising us to BOIL WATER
>BEFORE DRINKING as a precaution. This caution will apply until early

>minute, and let it cool before drinking it. Boiled or bottled water
