City Offers Update on Well 3 Repairs: Asks for Voluntary 25% Reduction in Outdoor Watering
The City of Susanville’s Public Works Department has issued a progress report on Well 3, the city’s largest production well, which failed early last month.
According to city officials, repairs to Well 3 remain underway, and staff are continuing to closely monitor water storage levels throughout the system.
While current storage levels are adequate to meet both community demands and emergency response needs, upcoming warmer weather means outdoor water use will naturally increase.
| | | |
Because Well 3 is the city’s primary source of irrigation water during the summer months, local officials emphasize that continued conservation efforts are vital until the well is brought back online.
The city currently anticipates that repairs will be completed within the next 10 to 14 days.
While residents and businesses may continue normal daily water use, the city is officially requesting that customers voluntarily reduce their outdoor irrigation and landscape watering by approximately 25 percent. Property owners are also asked to promptly repair any known water leaks at their homes and businesses.
These temporary conservation measures are designed to help preserve water supplies and maintain safe storage levels during peak summer demand periods while the final stages of work are completed.
The City of Susanville expressed its appreciation to the community for its continued cooperation, patience, and conservation efforts during this time.
For additional information, you can contact the City of Susanville Public Works Department at 1.530.257.1041.

Racing Association Donates 2,000 for Fair Fencing
FRED NAGEL, CENTER, treasurer of the Sierra Racing Association and Dewayne Blevins, right, board director, completed the donation of $2,000 to the Lassen County Fair recently. Al Martin, manager of the fair, accepting the check, expressed his thanks to the auto racing group.
“This money will pay for approximately 500 feet of steel fencing, gates and chutes, much of it already in use and used during our junior rodeo,” said Martin, who added that “this type of commitment to the Lassen County Fair will almost assure a favorable recommendation from the Little Hoover Commission now evaluating county fairs.”
Martin said any other individuals, groups or clubs who would like to contribute to the corral fund may contact him at the fairgrounds office. (Advocate photos).
