Celebrate Earth Day, Everyday

California entered into its third year of drought and we are urging all customers to step up their conservation efforts, following results of the final snow survey for the season that showed a dramatic decline in water content. On April 1, the snowpack was 41% of normal, however, less than two weeks later—on April 12—readings showed the snowpack had melted to 22% of normal, the equivalent of 4.9 inches of water content.

As the climate crisis becomes more serious, each Earth Day takes on extra significance. And every action we take, whether to save water or save energy, makes a difference. Little by little, it adds up to a lot. Simple lifestyle changes, like shorter showers, going paperless, and installing energy-efficient appliances, can make all the difference.

Between the rebates and incentives we offer, there is no shortage of opportunities. Don't wait, start saving now and invest in your planet while doing it!

Essential Work Continues

Our crews installed a new regulator station with an associated relief station underground to support the Coronado Trunk Line. The station is required to reduce the hydraulic grade between two pressures zones, allowing regulator and relief valves to control the flow of water from the Toyon tanks service zone to the Solano Reservoir service area to serve the southeast side of the city.
