On Oct. 23, the San Lorenzo Valley Water District announced the cancellation of the “Do Not Drink-Do Not Boil” notice in all of its service areas, based on water quality samples collected since the August CZU Lighting Complex fires.
“The District’s water supply is non-detect for contaminants from the August CZU Lighting fire,” reported District Manager Rick Rogers, adding that the order was cancelled sooner than anticipated because of “our staff’s tireless work sampling water quality and restoring the water distribution system.”
Newly added cancellation areas include the Boulder Creek area: All services west of the Hwy. 236/Paone Drive intersection, including, West Park Avenue, Boulder Brook Drive; Virginia Avenue and Ridge Drive.
The water district is shifting its focus to repairing the remaining fire damage.
“There is still a lot of work to do repairing the system and restoring watershed lands,” Rogers said. “The District won’t rest until we have the system repaired above and beyond its original structure. The Board of Directors and I want to sincerely thank all of our customers for their patience and understanding during this emergency.”
