GSP Public Workshop

The East Contra Costa Subbasin GSAs are inviting our citizens to participate in a Groundwater Public Workshop on Wednesday, June 23rd at 4pm. Recognizing the importance of groundwater, and the consequences of overuse, the District formed a Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) that has been collaborating with GSAs formed by other water suppliers within the Subbasin to create a joint Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP). This has been a multi-year process that will create a plan looking to provide groundwater sustainability to our East Contra Costa Subbasin over the next 50 years. When effectively managed, this resource helps protect communities, farms, and the environment against the impacts of prolonged dry periods and climate change. 

Throughout the development process of the GSP, draft chapters of the plan have been published for public input and engagement. Diablo Water District continues to work on behalf of our citizens to protect our local groundwater aquifer and ensure long-term sustainability of the groundwater basin. We value your input and encourage your participation and feedback. Please email groundwaterinfo@dcd.cccounty.us and request to be added to their distribution list.

Recycled Water Fill Station Now Open

We are experiencing another dry year and most of California is entering into a drought. To help residents reduce water use in gardens, landscaping, and lawns, Ironhouse Sanitary District has decided to open its Residential Recycled Water Fill Station again this year. The Fill Station opened on Tuesday, May 11th and will be open Tuesdays and Thursdays, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Fill Station service is available at no charge to Oakley and Bethel Island residents.

For those who haven’t taken advantage of using recycled water for irrigation, it doesn’t take much to get started. ISD’s recycled water is safe for nearly all of your outside watering needs, including vegetable gardens, fruit trees, and even washing cars. No special equipment or trucks are needed - any sized containers can be used to take advantage of this resource and there are no limits to how many trips can be made to retrieve recycled water.

If this is your first time using this resource, please call 925-625-2279 or email isdoutreach@isd.us.com to make an appointment. Proof of current residential address is required. ISD’s Residential Recycled Water Fill Station is located at 450 Walnut Meadows Drive. Cross streets are Rose Avenue, Main Street, and Districts Way.
