There is a main water line break today, October 5, 2026. Customers on Zone 6 (Second to the last digit of your account number on Old Stage Road and all of Gualala Court) are affected. Water pressure will drop and on some, water services will be cut-off while we do our emergency repairs. Water service is expected to be restored at around 8 o’clock pm tonight. As a safety precaution, BOIL WATER ORDER will be in effect as soon as your service is restored.

For more information regarding the water shut-off today and BOIL WATER NOTICE, please call our office at 707 884-3579.

Boil water notice is expected to be lifted after 2 consecutive days of water testing on October 8, Thursday.


BOIL YOUR WATER BEFORE USING
Failure to follow this advisory could result in stomach or intestinal illness.
DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one (1) minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water. [This is the preferred method to assure that the water is safe to drink.]
Optional alternative to include for prolonged situations where it fits.
• An alternative method of purification for residents that do not have gas or electricity available is to use fresh liquid household bleach (Cloroxâ, Purexâ, etc.). To do so, add 8 drops (or 1/4 teaspoon) of bleach per gallon of clear water or 16 drops (or 1/2 teaspoon) per gallon of cloudy water, mix thoroughly, and allow to stand for 30 minutes before using. A chlorine-like taste and odor will result from this purification procedure and is an indication that adequate disinfection has taken place.
• Water purification tablets may also be used by following the manufacturer’s instructions.
We will inform you when tests show no bacteria and you no longer need to boil your water. We anticipate to get the water samples test results by 10/08/2026.
