    LOS ANGELES - Tap water is now safe to drink in areas served by all nine water systems where damage from the firestorms in Altadena and Pacific Palisades had prompted "do not drink" notices, state regulators said Friday. The last water utility with such a notice, the Las Flores Water Co. in Altadena, was cleared to resume delivering drinking water and lifted its "do not drink" and "do not boil" advisory on Friday, four months after the notice was issued.

    A court has ruled in favor of bottled water company BlueTriton Brands, which sells the Arrowhead brand, overturning an order by California regulators for it to stop taking water from the San Bernardino Mountains. The U.S. Forest Service denied the company’s permit application last year and ordered it to shut down the water pipeline and other infrastructure in the San Bernardino National Forest. That decision is also being challenged in court.
