System Status: Saturday August 12, 2023

The SSF Bay that was cleaned on Thursday is back online as of last night and the system has recovered and is keeping up with the restricted demand.  Thank you for continuing to conserve water use.

The Raw Water Intake Well, below the intake pumps, is scheduled to be cleaned this Thursday, August 17, 2023, and until then, the SSF Bays are having to filter raw water with higher than desired turbidity, leading to faster build-up on top of the sand filtering materials, slowing the rate of filtered water flow over a shorter interval between cleanings.

Please continue to use water wisely throughout this week until the raw water intake well is cleaned, and the District can verify an improvement in the raw water quality to improve efficiency of the SSF's throughput going forward.
