Abstract: An important ingredient in the Ferrero--Washington proof of the vanishing of cyclotomic $mu$-invariant for Kubota--Leopoldt $p$-adic $L$-functions is an equidistribution result which they established using the Weyl criterion. The purpose of our manuscript is to provide an alternative proof by adopting a dynamical approach. A key ingredient to our methods is studying an ergodic skew-product map on $mathbb{Z}_{p}imes[0,1]$, which is then suitably identified as a factor of the $2$-sided Bernoulli shift on the sample space ${0,1,2,cdots,p-1}^{mathbbZ}$.
