A water pressure issue affected a large part of Anaheim, including Disneyland Resort, Tuesday evening. Some locations had very low pressure or no water.

The City of Anaheim said crews were working on the problem and expected service to return to normal within an hour.

City Advisory Shared at 7:44 p.m.

Reporter Scott Gustin shared the city advisory at 7:44 p.m. PDT.

Restrooms Begin Reopening

A second update at 8:05 p.m. PDT said Disneyland restrooms were beginning to reopen.

No active event appeared on Anaheim's public water outage map after 8:10 p.m. PDT. The map does not show water pressure at individual properties.

Update: Pressure Restored, Four Wells Offline

Update, 10:15 p.m. PDT: Anaheim restored water pressure after technical problems affected four of the city's 14 groundwater wells. The city took the four wells offline while it investigates whether the problem was technical or mechanical.

The pressure drop began around 6 p.m. and reached City Hall, Angel Stadium, the convention center and the theme park district. Anaheim increased its use of Colorado River water while the wells were affected. City Hall pressure later returned to 100%.

Disneyland Resort confirmed that the pressure issue temporarily affected operations across the resort. The city said it knew of no location that lost water completely, although some faucets slowed to a trickle. A smaller pressure issue involving the wells also occurred Tuesday morning and was resolved quickly.
