Mayor Eric Garcetti announced Wednesday that he will be authorizing the city to shut off water and power in cases where residents host large, illegal gatherings.
Following reports of large parties that violate health orders aimed at slowing the spread of the novel coronavirus, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced Wednesday that he will authorize the city to shut off water and power services to residents who hold such gatherings.
Garcetti said that while all nightclubs and bars have already been closed, “these large house parties have essentially become nightclubs in the hills” and often happen at homes that are vacant or used for short-term rentals. About 200 people were at the party when police first entered about 7 p.m. after numerous complaints from neighbors about the size of the gathering.
