TUD reports that when testing indicates the water is safe to drink without boiling, they will lift the boil water order
Original post written by BJ Hansen at 8:43 p.m.: Sonora, CA — The Tuolumne Utilities District reports that impacts related to the recent winter weather and power outages are reducing water supply in the Cedar Ridge area.
TUD relays that all customers in Cedar Ridge are urged to conserve immediately in order to help keep enough water in the storage tanks. The district also notes that the ongoing storms and outages may cause a reduced water flow (or a complete outage) for some customers.
The district thanks the Cedar Ridge community for its cooperation.
