Tuolumne Utilities District (TUD) has completed critical infrastructure enhancements according to a statement released by the district.
The Mt. Provo Water Transmission Project involved the installation of approximately 14,000 feet of 8-inch water main pipeline and two pressure reducing valve stations along Mt. Provo Road in the Ponderosa Hills area.
Don Perkins, General Manager of TUD, stated, “The completion of the Mt. Provo Water Transmission Project ensures that we can deliver reliable, high-quality water to the Ponderosa system from the Upper Basin system in Twain Harte. The successful completion of the Mt. Provo Water Transmission Project marks an essential milestone in water system consolidation and improved water management for the TUD service area.”
The new pipeline will serve as one of the key components of TUD’s water transmission system, originating at the future Sierra Pines Regional Water Treatment and Storage Facility located in Twain Harte, Ca.
The project was made possible due to a $2.84 million Urban and Multibenefit Drought Relief Grant from the Department of Water Resources (DWR).
