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.
