AUBURN, CA (MPG) - Following a recent update from Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), the Placer County Water Agency (PCWA) is pleased to share that a partial fix to PG&E’s infrastructure at Lake Spaulding has resulted in resumed deliveries of water into PCWA’s system.  The current fix will allow approximately 50% of normal water flow until the remainder of the infrastructure is repaired. 

This is a positive development, but it is only the beginning of our journey toward full recovery. As water begins to refill Rollins Reservoir, we will closely monitor its levels and continue evaluating the situation. At current delivery rates, we anticipate Rollins Reservoir will not fully refill until late in the fall. 

PCWA asks all customers to maintain their conservation efforts and reduce water use through at least mid-September. This is essential as we navigate the hot summer months and work towards a stable water source at Rollins Reservoir. The reduced deliveries of untreated water will continue until Rollins Reservoir recovers. 

We extend our gratitude to our customers for their cooperation in conserving water. Voluntary reductions and canal water delivery adjustments have significantly contributed to our efforts.

Customers experiencing hardships as a result of adjusted canal deliveries are encouraged to contact PCWA at (530) 823-4850 or email [email protected] for assistance.
