EBMUD Diablo Vista Pumping Plant Construction Update, Summer 2017

Summer is upon us and the Diablo Vista Pumping Plant located at the corner of Mount Diablo Blvd. and Mount Diablo Ct. is taking shape. You can now see a finished exterior with roofing and outdoor treatments as you pass by. Inside the new pump house, all of the interior pumps and pipes are being installed and electrical work is also taking place in preparation for testing.
 
Upcoming work in June and July 2017 includes:

• Continued new sidewalk work on the Mount Diablo Blvd. and Mount Diablo Ct.
• Pressure testing and flushing of pipes - you will see large water storage tanks adjacent to the worksite to support this activity
• Testing of the new pump plant systems
• Installation of permanent perimeter fencing and landscaping
• Staining of the pumping plant exterior concrete walls

Standard project work hours are Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with intermittent Saturday work from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the summer. Construction is anticipated to be complete by the end of 2017. Once the new Diablo Vista Pumping Plant is complete, it will be placed online to pump water to your community. The old pumping plant on Mount Diablo Blvd., near Carol Ln., will then be taken out of service and demolished.

Led Zeppelin Music for Breast Cancer Prevention
Saturday, July 8, Doors 6:00pm Show 7:00pm, Town Hall Theatre
Notes4Hope presents a night of timeless, classic rock and roll at the Town Hall Theatre in Lafayette. Hey Hey Mama band, along with thirteen top Bay Area female vocalists, will electrify the audience with their spectacular renditions from the Led Zeppelin catalog. As Sandy Preto, President of Notes4Hope, explains, "I was blown away when I saw this band's performance in San Francisco for an ovarian cancer research benefit with such amazing female rock singers. The experience was so powerful and moving, that Notes4Hope decided to duplicate the event for our local community to promote breast cancer prevention." Proceeds from the evening support the meaningful work of the Breast Cancer Prevention Partners of San Francisco (BCPP). For additional information, visit www.notes4hope.org.
