DEL ORO WATER COMPANY ISSUES BOIL-WATER-ORDER
Refer to Boil-Water-Notice
As a result of the Camp Fire, the Del Oro Water Company’s following districts: PARADISE PINES, MAGALIA, LIME SADDLE, STIRLING BLUFFS & BUZZTAIL, in conjunction with the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water, is advising all its customers and/or emergency responders that the water from the Districts may not be safe to drink. We advise people to boil the tap water or use bottled water for drinking and cooking purposes. This is a safety precaution to avoid stomach or intestinal illness as much of the water delivery system has been dewatered, which can allow contaminates to enter the water system. The affected area includes all customers served by the PARADISE PINES, MAGALIA, LIME SADDLE, STIRLING BLUFFS & BUZZTAIL.
Cal Fire has also requested that our customers conserve water, and minimize non-fire related consumption. We will inform you when tests show that water is safe to drink and you no longer need to boil your water. We are working to resolve the problem as soon as possible.
Our hearts and thoughts go out to our customers, co-workers and friends who have been affected by this fire. Please note that any collection will be suspended during this time, so residents do not need to worry about their bill through this emergency.
With history dating back to 1963, Del Oro Water Company and its dedicated professionals who provide regulated drinking water services are firmly committed to producing and delivering a safe and dependable supply of quality water.
We strongly urge our customers to heed any evacuation warnings and orders; please be safe out there.
