TUD Launches Internet Survey

Tuolumne Utilities District is using the internet to reach out to its customers as part of its commitment to improving communications with rate payers. "We believe our customers want and need to know what it is we do and how we do it," said TUD General Manager Pete Kampa. Customers that did not receive the survey and who would like to participate may do so by sending an email with their name, email and service address to customersvc@tuolumneutilities.com.

Annual Flushing Program Begins

To ensure water quality, Tuolumne Utilities District (TUD) will begin its annual flushing of the water distribution systems. This flushing of water lines occurs every year and will begin the week of January 11th and will run through April 2010. The reason for the flushing is to clear out any sediment or minerals that may accumulate in pipes on an annual basis. TUD maintenance crews will flush between 8am and 3pm.

Please note, when TUD is flushing the water lines, we offer the following recommendations:

• Don’t be alarmed if you observe substantial volumes of water flowing in drainages or alongside the road. This is typical for flushing.
• You may experience fluctuations in service pressure.  If pressure problems persist, please contact the District.
• While flushing is occurring, we recommend not doing laundry and try to limit your water use in order not to draw this water into your household plumbing.
• If you have cloudy water after the water lines have been flushed, please turn on an outside hose bibb in order to flush your service line prior to where the water enters the house.
