2026 Canal Cleaning Schedule

Consumer Guidance During Water Outages Or Periods Of Low Pressure

If you are experiencing water outages or low water pressure, immediately discontinue any non-essential water use. This includes all outdoor irrigation and car washing. Minimizing use will reduce the potential for the water system to lose pressure or run out of water.
