Paradise resident 'forced' to move back home without access to safe water.
In the wake of the deadliest and most destructive fire in California history, the residents of Paradise are slowly returning and rebuilding.
Even if her pipes started working, she wouldn't be able to drink it. The Paradise Irrigation District has warned every resident that the city's water supply is not potable, after testing revealed several positive results for benzene. "We had to get the home cleaned for smoke inhalation," she said."We needed the insulation repaired and replaced."
"There's no way that I would even turn it on," Awalt continued."Because what happens is, once you turn it on, let's say there is that contamination in that line, and you bring it into your home while it contaminates the pipes. So it literally binds to your pipes and will continue to leach into your home."
Awalt said she received a letter from Farmers Insurance dated Jan. 11, 2019, that read, in part:"You requested coverage for a water tank, pump and full-up due to the citywide water outage. Per your policy, there must be actual, accidental direct, distinct and demonstrable physical loss or damage to the water system on your premise for additional; living expense coverage to apply, and for us to cover the water tank. We did not find any damage to the water system on your premise.
Awalt said she and her husband have had to pay out of their pocket for a water tanker from a private company until the water issue in Paradise is fixed.
