PG&E MAKES EMERGENCY REPAIRS TO TUOLUMNE MAIN CANAL- TUD CUSTOMERS ASKED TO CONSERVE WATER

SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 2025

SONORA, CA: Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) must make emergency repairs to a section of flume on its Main Tuolumne Canal, the main water supply serving the Tuolumne Utilities District (TUD) system. While the repairs are being made, water from the canal serving TUD’s system will be shut off. TUD is asking customers to conserve water until Monday, June 30 to allow PG&E to make necessary repairs.

During the repair period, water will not be flowing in the ditches, and the water supply will come from storage tanks and limited capacity groundwater wells. Conservation during this period is necessary to ensure adequate water supply for drinking, sanitary usage and fire protection.

Here’s how you can help:
 Limit outside watering
 Do not wash vehicles
 Turn off automatic lawn and drip sprinkler timers
 Repair water leaks
