UPDATE – The Montecito Water District is distributing emergency bottled water at the following locations until 8 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 11: Upper Village Shopping Center, E. Valley Road and San Ysidro Road Montecito Fire Station, Cold Spring and Sycamore Canyon Road Summerland Post Office, 2245 Lillie Avenue (starting at 1:30 p.m.) The deadly mudslides have ripped houses from their foundations, crumpled cars and destroyed neighborhoods.
The California Conservation Corps is handing out cases of water to Montecito residents who are unable to get clean water from their faucets.
"We’re passing out free water to anyone that needs it," said one CCC member.
Water deliveries have been cut off or reduced from primary suppliers like Jameson Lake and South Coast conduit because of main breaks.
"We have no water currently in storage," said Montecito Water District general manager Nick Turner.
"We do have customers without water.
This is primarily in the upper Toro Canyon area."
Customers who do have water don’t have much of it.
Montecito is currently under a boil water notice until water managers can make necessary repairs.
Officials say it could be days or possibly a week before Montecito Water District can get its water facilities up and running again.

At the same time, the town of Orleans will begin running a new water line, mostly at local cost.
Ferrucci says she’ll have to pay $800 a year for her share of the new water line.
Research points to the salt barn, but state has its own study According to the state Department of Transportation, the current salt barn was built in the year 2000.
He says the new tourism center has become an ironic symbol of the state’s priorities.
The state has been paying to truck water to the Thousand Islands Winery, just down the road, since 2003.
More dangerous than salt – elevated lead levels The new water line to the affected homes is projected to cost about $13 million.
State grants will cover about $5 million of that, leaving town residents to repay $8 million from a no-interest loan by the state Environmental Facilities Corporation.
Assemblywoman Addie Jenne says she’s convinced the DOT’s salt barn is the cause of the contamination, and she believes the state paying for the water line is the right thing to do.
11 had elevated lead levels, including the Ferrucci’s.
Cuomo So, for now, Diane Ferrucci does inconvenient things in her house, like taping off the sink when guests come to stay, so they don’t drink the water.

Crews responded to a water main break Thursday morning in North Charleston.
Dispatchers with the Charleston County Consolidated 911 Center tell us the break happened around 3:50 a.m. on Remount Road near Yeamans Hall Road.
We’re told the water was several inches deep for at least 200 yards.
The intersection was reopened around 6:00 a.m.
Heavy equipment was brought in around 6:45 a.m. Due to the water main break in the area, there is no water service at Matilda F. Dunston Primary School at this time, Charleston County School District officials say.
They say ground temperatures are much warmer than water in the pipes.
More water main breaks could happen, according to Charleston Water System.
The burst pipe on Remount Road was installed in 1926 , according to officials with Charleston Water Systems.
Thursday’s work marked the second time in as many days crews have been recalled to repair a water main break at Yeamans Hall and Remount roads.

Drinking water is supposed to be clear, but the Central Heights school district’s water supply inside its school, 2521 Ellis Road, has a blue tint to it, which alerted officials last week to a possible problem.
Brian Spencer, Central Heights superintendent, said they discovered copper levels were too high, which led to school being canceled for three days last week.
“We will provide bottled water for drinking and consumption,” Spencer posted on the Central Heights school district’s Facebook page.
“Copper is on the list of secondary drinking water contaminants.
The superintendent said the problem lies within the school building as the water from the rural water district has been tested and the copper levels were within the guidelines.
He said the water will continue to be tested after the system is flushed.
“We are working diligently with several agencies and experts,” he posted on the Facebook page.
We have taken action to mitigate the copper levels in the water.
“It has been frustrating.” Spencer said Monday morning KDHE officials were working diligently to find the cause of the problem and to provide information to get it fixed.
“We will continue to flush the system and search for the source of the elevated copper levels,” he said.

Even though the system now has a newly installed motor and chloride system, the area’s six year-long boil advisory will still be in effect due to the age and leakage of the lines carrying that water.
"Once we put some pressure back on the lines… we might have some water breaks on the main line," Thomas said.
Replacing those mainlines is not only just expensive.
Financially, the city of Keystone is treading water with its general funds, depending on an EDA grant to fix the water system.
But if something goes wrong with the mainline, the damaging costs could force the city into bankruptcy.
McDowell County commissioner Michael Brooks says this unfortunately is a county-wide problem, in which the jurisdiction has to be dependent on state and national resources to fund the necessary projects.
In the meantime, citizens will have to rely on donated bottled water for drinking and personal care, all while hoping for an answer soon.
"I know there’s somebody out there that can help us with these problems," Thomas said.
I am sure that somebody can step up and help these people here in McDowell County."
The city is depending on Phase II of its public service district water project to replace those mainlines, but currently there is no set schedule for it to begin.

La División de Servicios de Salud Ambiental del Departamento de Salud Pública ha impuesto una orden de cierre para restaurantes, mercados y otras negocios que son afectados por el aviso de agua hervida.
Esto incluye áreas atendidas por el Distrito de Agua de Montecito, específicamente las ciudades de Montecito y Summerland.
El agua en Carpinteria y Santa Barbara y todos las otras comunidades fuera del Distrito de Agua de Montecito es segura y está dentro de las pautas y estándares estatales y federales.
Debido a los recientes eventos de inundación repentina, la Junta de Control de Recursos Hídricos del Estado, la División de Agua Potable conjuntamente con el Departamento de Salud Pública del Condado de Santa Bárbara y el Distrito de Agua de Montecito están aconsejando a los residentes de Montecito y Summerland que usen agua hervida o agua embotellada para el propósito de beber y cocinar como una precaución de seguridad.

The boil water notice has affected only those properties which receive water through the New London Turnpike entry point.
“However, the Wendy’s and Hampton Inn are connected to the Kent County water system, so they are not impacted.” Wendelken said the source of the issue was not initially identified and that the DOH is focused on “chlorinating and flushing” the system.
He said the contamination is believed to have originated in a leasing office men’s room at the GrandeVille Apartment Complex on the West Greenwich side of the development.
NWSI is actively working to sanitize the water supply and lift the boil advisory.
They will also draw four additional samples from the system on the third day.
The boil water advisory will be lifted when all samples come back bacteria free.
Our aim is to get three consecutive days of clean samples.
At that point, we would be able to lift the boil water advisory.” “People should bear in mind that there is perhaps no water in the entire Kent County Water system that is tested more extensively and regularly than the water at CNE,” said McGowan.
The KCWA water going to homes and businesses, however, is generally not tested thereafter, but it is at CNE — again, extensively and repeatedly.” According to McGowan, this incident is the first time there has ever been an issue with water at CNE.
All affected homes and businesses will be notified when the advisory is lifted, according to the DOH.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The state has taken legal action to make sure Wolverine Worldwide keeps complying with orders in and funding the response to the toxic tap water crisis in Kent County.
It also lays the groundwork for possible civil fines.
Also Wednesday, the EPA announced it is ordering Wolverine to conduct more tests of the soil, groundwater and river sediment at the site of its former tannery in Rockford and the House Street dump for hazardous substances including arsenic, chromium, mercury and ammonia.
>>PDF: Cleanup order from EPA In a Wednesday release, Wolverine said it remained committed to working with the DEQ and Environmental Protection Agency on contamination response.
“We have been working collaboratively with the MDEQ and EPA to address their concerns and implement solutions to give the community confidence in its water.
The anticipated actions by the MDEQ and EPA stem from efforts already underway and formalize the work and testing already being done by Wolverine,” ‎Chris Hufnagel, the company’s senior vice president and head of strategy, said in a statement.
“This is our hometown and these are our friends, families and neighbors.
Also Tuesday, Target 8 learned tests found PFAS levels much higher than that in the blood of a woman who has lived across from Wolverine’s main waste disposal site on House Street in Belmont for more than two decades, as well as the blood of a 20-month-old boy who lives in the area.
It wasn’t until last year that contamination was discovered in residential wells, 78 of which have since tested above 70 ppt.
