Some residents of Ventura are being advised against using, drinking or bathing in tap water because it is contaminated with gasoline.
“The City of Ventura’s water may be contaminated with gasoline near Harbor Blvd & Monmouth Way,” city officials said in an emergency alert. “The initial impacted area is estimated from San Pedro to Peninsula Street.”
Ventura officials shared this map of an area affected by an unsafe water alert on Nov. 26, 2025.
Officials emphasized that this is not a boil-water notice.
“Boiling, freezing, filtering, or adding disinfectants will NOT make it safe.”
