Valley Water is prepared for potential power outages

As the threat of wildfires continues into October, Valley Water is prepared for the possibility of a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) should PG&E implement preemptive efforts to help reduce the potential for wildfires.

Valley Water's water treatment plants have backup power to ensure operational continuity during PSPS events. Service to the community will not be disrupted during these pre-emptive power shutdowns, as Valley Water also has a stock of fuel and mobile generators ready for pre-deployment to facilities in the field.

Valley Water is committed to working in partnership with PG&E to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of safe, clean water to our community during unpredictable weather events.
