Water service has been restored in the restrooms inside Terminal 2 at LAX, but it is still not drinkable, say officials with Los Angeles World Airports.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power will be sampling the water quality later this afternoon to determine when it will be fit for human consumption, airport officials said.
A 12-inch water main broke Thursday afternoon on the ground floor of a parking structure, causing flooding on the first level and cutting off water to the terminal.
Crews are continuing to work on restoring water service to Terminal 3, where officials said additional portable toilets are available. Prepackaged food and bottled water is available at both terminals.
