Ditch Outage to Begin April 26, 2026

The Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) Main Tuolumne Canal conveying 95% of Tuolumne Utilities District’s (TUD or District) drinking water supply will be shut down for PG&E’s annual maintenance from Sunday, April 26th through Sunday, May 3rd 2026. TUD is asking you to limit your water use while PG&E undertakes repairs and improvements.

Without water flowing in the ditches, the only water available is what remains in storage tanks and from limited capacity groundwater wells.  Conservation during this period is necessary to ensure adequate water supply for drinking, sanitary usage, and fire protection. Please conserve water by limiting outside watering, avoid washing vehicles, turn off automatic lawn and drip sprinkler timers, and repair water leaks.

For irrigation/agricultural ditch customers, periodic outages will continue from October through December for annual maintenance. Click this link to view the 2026 Ditch Schedule.
