If you're near a Mount Laguna campground, you might want to avoid drinking the water.
Water from the system tested positive for E.Coli, which means it might be contaminated with human or animal waste, The County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health said.
The county issued a boil water order for the Mount Laguna water system located on the Sunrise Highway. The boil water order will remain in effect until lab tests confirm the bacteria is gone.
The water system affected serves the Desert View Picnic Ground, Red Tailed Roost, Sierra Club Lodge, Camp Ole Fire Station, and the Visitor Information Center with public restrooms and the Wooded Hill, Horse Heaven, El Prado, Yerba Santa, Laguna, and Burnt Rancheria campgrounds.
Water is safe to drink if it comes from the Stuart Water Company, which serves the majority of businesses, restaurants, lodgings and homes in the Mount Laguna area. The Mount Laguna Improvement Association system is also not affected.
