Crews have begun digging a 3000 ft trench surrounding the Loop. Some 30 parcels are soon to be impacted. Water from the Smith is now being sanitized for the property owners.A $2 million grant from the California Department of Water Resources is funding the grant. The buy-in is $4600 per parcel. Water users can expect their faucets to release the clean water by early June. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
