Pleasanton Residents Asked to Conserve Water June 27-July 2

Zone 7 Water Agency and retail water providers, including California Water Service, Livermore Municipal Water Service, Dublin San Ramon Service District, and Pleasanton Municipal Water Service, are asking Tri-Valley residents and businesses to temporarily implement greater conservation efforts for outdoor water use. This voluntary effort runs from Saturday, June 27 through Thursday, July 2.

The request coincides with seasonally necessary planned maintenance on State Water Project facilities by the California Department of Water Resources. The State Water Project supplies approximately 70% of the water used throughout the Tri-Valley. During the six-day maintenance period, water deliveries available to Zone 7 will be temporarily reduced while critical infrastructure is serviced for repairs.

Zone 7 and local water retailers have planned for the outage and will continue supplying water throughout the maintenance period using locally stored imported supplies and local groundwater resources. However, reducing outdoor water use during this brief period helps preserve those supplies for essential needs.

Residents and businesses are asked to reduce outdoor water use, including:

• Watering residential lawns and landscapes • Watering HOA and commercial landscaping • Washing vehicles at home • Filling or refilling swimming pools • Power washing or hosing-off surfaces • Other non-essential outdoor water uses

While conservation is requested during the maintenance period, there are no restrictions leading up to it. Since the Department of Water Resources planned maintenance will not affect recycled water supplies, this conservation request does not include properties that irrigate with recycled water.

Residents and businesses may resume normal outdoor water use on Friday, July 3. For more information, please visit zone7waterca.gov/swpmaintenance.
