EMERGENCY OUTAGE- Low Pressure Possible Outage in the Placerville Area

We regret the inconvenience, due to an emergency water line break, we are performing emergency repairs to the water delivery system affecting parcels in the Placerville area, north of highway 50 surrounding Green Valley Rd between Lotus Rd and Missouri Flat Rd, and south of highway 50 surrounding EL Dorado Rd and Mother Lode Drive. This outage affects approximately 912 customers.

EID is performing work on the water system supplying this area today Monday, November 4. At this time we do not have an anticipated time of completion.

During this time, you may experience low water pressure or loss of water service. Please conserve water by only using it for essential purposes.

If your water looks cloudy or dirty, do not drink it or use it for food preparation or personal hygiene purposes.

When normal pressure is restored, you might experience a slight discoloration in the water or the presence of air in the system. To correct this, allow one outside tap to run until the water is clear or the air has escaped.

Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.
