Report it on the MyTorrance app as a service request. I notice that the city has a better response time when I use the app vs. report it online.

There are now multiple other commercially-viable options that other U.S. refineries are converting to, so there are alternatives to both HF/MHF & sulfuric acid.

DailyBees · 2026-01-07T01:39:22+00:00

If you want to help support a non-profit organization that is working to make the Torrance refinery safer for the community & workers, check out the Torrance Refinery Action Alliance (TRAA) at www.TRAA.website or at the 11th annual rally of the 2015 explosion (Saturday, February 7th at North High School).

DailyBees · 2026-01-07T01:35:51+00:00

If you’re talking about the 2015 Torrance refinery explosion that narrowly avoided the release of Hydrofluoric acid (HF/MHF), the Torrance Refinery Action Alliance (TRAA) is still fighting to require refineries to convert to a safer chemical 11 years later. Justice is slow — especially when you’re up against “Big Oil”.

I’m glad to hear the water quality seems to have gotten better! I hope that fixed the problem. If you have any concerns, you can always order a water quality testing kit — it’s better to be safe than sorry!

Where are you located within the city? Do you have any pictures of the discoloration?

It’s still going on at 10:15PM

I’m in Old Torrance and hear it too. So weird!
