The Cambria Community Services District (CCSD) will be conducting critical water system work that will require a temporary interruption of water service to customers in the affected Lodge Hill area beginning Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at approximately 8:00 am.

Following restoration of water service, CCSD will issue a Precautionary Boil Water Notice for affected customers as a precaution due to the temporary loss of water pressure during the planned shutdown.

Press Release

Planned Water Service Interruption

The planned water service interruption is necessary while CCSD replaces aging pressure-reducing equipment located on Ellis Avenue in Cambria. Completing this work requires a full shutdown of the two highest-pressure zones served by the Fiscalini Tank.

Water service will be temporarily shut off beginning at approximately 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, and is anticipated to continue until approximately 5:00 p.m.

Water service will be restored as soon as the necessary work is completed. The actual restoration time may vary depending on field conditions and the progress of construction.

Precautionary Boil Water Notice

Following restoration of water service, affected customers will be placed under a Precautionary Boil Water Notice.

The temporary loss of water pressure associated with the planned shutdown may allow contaminants to enter the distribution system. As a precaution, customers in the affected area should not drink tap water or use tap water for food preparation unless it has first been boiled, or use commercially bottled water, until CCSD officially lifts the notice.

The Precautionary Boil Water Notice will remain in effect until CCSD determines that the water is safe and provides official notice that the advisory has been lifted.

Customers should not assume that the boil water notice has been lifted simply because water service has been restored.

Boil all tap water used for:

• Drinking
• Brushing teeth
• Making ice
• Preparing food and beverages
• Preparing baby formula

Bring water to a full rolling boil for at least one (1) minute. Allow the water to cool before using it. If you are unable to boil water, use commercially bottled water.

If you have questions about other uses of tap water, such as bathing and dishwashing, please review the guidance below.

Fact Sheet About What to Do During a Boil Water Advisory

This Precautionary Boil Water Notice applies only to customers within the designated affected Lodge Hill area. Customers outside the affected area are not subject to this notice unless otherwise notified by CCSD.

Please refer to the map below to determine whether your property is within the affected area.

The boil water notice will remain in effect until the CCSD, in coordination with the appropriate public health and drinking water regulatory agencies, determines that the water is safe for consumption.

Do not resume normal use of tap water for drinking or food preparation until CCSD officially announces that the boil water notice has been lifted.

The CCSD will provide updates as additional information becomes available.
