Is the hydrant problem a new development tonight?

If I recall correctly, there have been sporadic water-pressure problems in various areas throughout the last couple of days. There have been water conservation requests in some areas, probably to help prevent low pressure at the hydrant. I suspect that there are many wooded areas that are too remote for hydrants as well.

re: hydrant problem -- ok. I was wondering if perhaps these communities had a chronic long-term water issue but it doesn't sound like it.

According to some of the posts overnight on rimoftheworld.net, the pumps that supplied East Lake Arrowhead with water pressure failed, the hydrants went dry, and the FFs ran out of water. They were told to use hoses to fill 500 gallon fire trucks.... a little later they were ordered out.
