Overview
- City crews traced the pressure drop to technical problems drawing water from four of Anaheim’s 14 groundwater wells and shut those wells offline for a mechanical investigation.
- Officials said crews switched to Colorado River supply to replace lost capacity and gradually restored normal pressure within about two hours on Tuesday, July 28.
- The outage left many restrooms closed and restaurants pausing service across Disneyland Resort, Downtown Disney and nearby venues including Angel Stadium until pressure returned.
- City spokespeople stressed that fire hydrants and water quality were not compromised and that using treated river water is a standard mitigation while crews troubleshoot pumps.
- The incident highlighted the resort’s dependence on municipal infrastructure and prompted guest criticism over slow official communication even as cast members worked to assist visitors.
