The action comes on the eve of the fire’s two-month anniversary, as Bass looks to reset the focus after weeks of tumult, not just in the response, but at City Hall.

Almost two months after the Palisades Fire erupted in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood and drinking water became unsafe, Mayor Karen Bass announced the "Do Not Drink" notice will be lifted on Friday.

Bass said the recovery efforts in the Pacific Palisades area are months ahead of expectations. She emphasized the city's commitment to expediting the rebuilding process​ and helping families return to their homes.
