We are again preparing for a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS.)
PG&E is planning to shut down power to large parts of the East Bay
Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) service area starting on Saturday,
October 26. Your neighborhood is included in the affected areas. Please see
the map at
ebmud.com/psps2019.
As per our emergency protocol, we activated our Emergency
Operations Team, topped off our reservoirs and began reconnecting emergency
generators and backup pumps at sites that rely on continuous power. EBMUD
asks that customers in affected areas reduce water use indoors and turn off
outdoor irrigation. This will help conserve water in our local reservoir
tanks. EBMUD also recommends customers prepare emergency water supplies:
two gallons per person per day, plus pets. More information on how to store
emergency water is available on our website at
Storing
Emergency Water.
EBMUD will make information available as
the situation develops. For updates, check
