SONORA, CA: Tuolumne Utilities District (TUD) crews are scheduled to begin Phase 1 of the Mt. Provo Transmission and Intertie Project on Monday, June 5th, 2023. This project includes installing approximately 14,000 lineal feet of 8-inch water main pipeline, two pressure reducing stations and 10 new fire hydrants on Mt. Provo Road in the Ponderosa Hills area. Work is scheduled to take place between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday- Friday and is expected to be completed by November 2023. During this time, there will be no road closures, however motorists are advised to drive with caution and may encounter slight traffic delays.
This project is funded by a $2.8 million dollar grant that was awarded to TUD by the Department of Water Resources and will serve as one of the main arteries of the district’s water transmission system from the future Sierra Pines Regional Water Treatment Facility located in Twain Harte.
