Water Restored After Outage At Women's Jail In Lynwood
LYNWOOD (AP) — Authorities say water is running again at the main Los Angeles County jail for women after a two-day outage.
Sheriff's officials say crews completed repairs to a broken pipe early Sunday at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood.
The break was reported Friday afternoon.
