ROWLAND WATER DISTRICT NEWS

From Rowland Water District!
Please take time to look at the Holiday Office Closures for Christmas and News Years. Click here to view the office closures

We are working with all of our customers to find ways to save water during California's severe drought.

The State Water Resources Control Board has banned certain water-wasting behaviors including:

Washing down driveways and sidewalks
Watering too much, causing water to run off of landscaped area
Using a hose to wash a vehicle, unless you have a shut-off nozzle
Using a fountain or water feature, unless the water is recirculated

In response to the State's restrictions, the Rowland Water District Board of Directors recently declared a Level 2 water shortage. This means that the District is asking customers to do more to reduce water use.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Doty Bros has now installed 14,000 of the 15,000 feet of pipeline making the project 94% complete. Construction began on Whittier Avenue in August to go through exclusive residential areas (Arbolita Avenue and Brighton Street in La Habra and La Habra Heights) and has now redirected to go south on Harbor Blvd. Construction has reached the top of Harbor Blvd. (going south). The project is set to be completed by January 2015 after a 10 month process and will potentially serve water to the entire District. This will help control our water rates for the future!

The 1,255 square foot building (located at 1921 E. Whittier Avenue) that houses the chemical injection equipment and 5 booster pumps to provide 5,000 gallons per minute (GPM) of water to customers is now 90% complete.
