December 2022

2022 Year in Review

As 2022 comes to a close, the District, and our customers, have many things to celebrate:

Engineered seismic upgrades to one of the District’s 5-million-gallon reservoirs (construction to start in January 2023).
Launched internal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion trainings.
Installed solar at the office to offset 100% of the office’s energy requirements.
Awarded a $3 million grant (with Ironhouse Sanitary District) to increase the reuse of recycled water.
Delivered over 900 conservation devices to customer’s doorsteps.
Upgraded financial bond rating to AA-.
Awarded $450,000 to voluntarily consolidate two disadvantaged water systems on Bethel Island.
Revised our Mission and Vision Statements and expanded into developing the District’s Guiding Principles which provide guidance and direction in all operations of the District.

We look forward to moving into the new year with a renewed sense of dedication to our community and keeping public service at the heart of all we do.

We are proud of what we have accomplished are excited to see what 2023 brings. Follow our projects and achievements on our website.

Don't Let Rainy Days Go To Waste

The sight of rain is a welcome one; however, it will take more than just a few rainy days to help fill our reservoirs as we continue to endure year three of the drought. Conserving water counts no matter what the season, and Californians need to remain diligent in ensuring a water-resilient future.

Now is the perfect time to reduce your irrigation if you haven’t already. Our sandy soil can only take so much water, so let Mother Nature do the work and turn off your irrigation if there has been rainfall in the past 48 hours.

The cooler temperatures can also take a toll on our pipes - unprotected water pipes can freeze and burst in freezing weather. You can take simple steps to protect your pipes with foam insulation. Follow our simple instructions to protect pipes under pressure.

We appreciate the continued conservation efforts of all our customers. Your daily actions make a huge impact and show your care and commitment to our water future.

Take the guesswork out of watering smart and install a WaterSense labeled smart controller!
