Tuolumne Utilities District recently announced work has been completed on the Crystal Falls/Cedar Ridge Water Treatment Consolidation Project.
The project provides improved efficiency, cost savings and the elimination of the Cedar Ridge Water Treatment Plant. The project also included installing a new pump station at the Crystal Falls Water Treatment plant which pumps water into the Cedar Ridge system, enhancing the reliability and efficiency of water supply and distribution within the region.
“This intertie project marks an important milestone in TUD’s ongoing system consolidation efforts to strengthen our water infrastructure and improve service delivery,” said Don Perkins, general manager of Tuolumne Utilities District. “This project will not only provide greater resilience to our water system but will significantly reduce ongoing operational costs.”
This consolidation project is part of a larger effort by the Tuolumne Utilities District to retire aging infrastructure, improve economies of scale, and ensure sustainable and affordable water service in the future.
The long-term vision of the District is to construct a regional water treatment and storage facility at Sierra Pines with the capability to consolidate 8 water treatment facilities, 16 tanks, and 12 pump stations.
