After the E. coli contamination was detected in treated water from Lopez Lake, the county issued a boil water order for Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, Avila Beach, and Oceano on Wednesday. The bacteria was discovered during routine testing.
The water was contaminated through a transmission line. The county is investigating the cause of the contamination.
