By Water treatment method changed

Beginning this week, the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) is temporarily changing the method regularly used to treat the water it supplies to the California Water Service Company’s (Cal Water) Los Altos District.

“For a period of approximately two weeks, SCVWD will switch to free chlorine disinfection as part of its annual water distribution system maintenance.

Cal Water and SCVWD will be monitoring this supply change to ensure that the water we provide is of the highest quality,” said Ron Richardson, Cal Water’s Los Altos District Manager.

According to Richardson, during this period, customers might notice a chlorine taste or smell in the water. This can be reduced by refrigerating the water overnight.

Cal Water customers who have questions are encouraged to call 917-0152.

Cal Water’s Los Altos District provides water service to 57,000 Customers residing in Los Altos and parts of Los Altos Hills, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, and Cupertino.
