CCWD Press Release

CCWD Gearing Up for Round 3 of the Storm Season
Crews work around the clock to stay fully operational
Calaveras County Water District (CCWD) plans to continue its
record of staying fully operational during this historical storm season. The last two
storms rendered thousands of residents along the Ebbetts Pass area without power and
access to roadways, but the water continued to flow.
CCWD staff continues to work day and night to respond to any emergencies and
monitor the system to ensure delivery. The District maintains close coordination with
local and state agencies, which is critical during emergency situations, to share
information and resources.
Over the years, the District invested in back-up generators and Supervisory Control and
Data Acquisition (SCADA) technology to weather through these harsh conditions. While
there are no guarantees, through sound planning and hard work, CCWD is able to
provide water to the residents – some who are stranded in their homes.
CCWD recognizes that while we can survive without power and transportation, we
cannot do without water. We take great pride in knowing that every member of the
District remains committed to ensuring safe and reliable supply for our customers.
Calaveras County Water District is a public agency committed to meeting the diverse
needs of the historical gold country that spans 1,100 square miles. CCWD is
responsible for potable water delivery, wastewater collection, recycled water distribution
and hydroelectric power operation within the Calaveras County. Through responsible
management and innovative planning, CCWD strives to protect the region’s rich
resources and advance its mission to serve the public.
