Pipe Work Means Water Conservation
Asking people to conserve water after a week of rainstorms might sound odd, but that’s exactly what water officials are requesting.
Starting Monday, scheduled maintenance on a Yorba Linda water plant will force the shutdown of pipes that supply several North and South County cities. The shutdown will last for four days, prompting the conservation request from the Municipal Water District of Orange County.
“We just want to err on the side of caution,” district spokesman Keith Coolidge said. “We’re going to be relying on stored water during that time.
The work affects the following water districts: Santa Margarita; Irvine Ranch; Moulton Niguel; East Orange County; Los Alisos; Southern California Water Company; Yorba Linda; Santiago County; El Toro; Laguna Beach County; South Coast; and Capistrano Beach. City water departments in Orange, Brea, Newport Beach, La Habra and San Clemente also are affected.
