The City Has Issued A Boil Water Notice For All Residents In The Area Of Fairview Drive, Fairview Place, Oak Place and Oak Court
Angels Camp, CA...August 10th, 2020 a water line break caused a disruption in water service for customers who live on Fairview Drive, Fairview Place, Oak Place and Oak Court. Public Works crews were able to isolate and repair the break. State regulations require that a boil water advisory remain in effect until two rounds of water quality testing is completed, this usually occurs within 2-3 days. The boil water advisory is in effect for all residents in the area of Fairview Drive, Fairview Place, Oak Place and Oak Court. City staff hand delivered boil water notices to each customer affected and they will be notified as soon as the boil water advisory can be lifted. For more information, please contact City Hall at COA@angelscamp.gov or (209) 736-2181.
Please note: Discolored water is a common occurrence after pipeline work. Opening and closing valves to isolate the area of repair can cause the water flow in the pipes to speed up and slow down, which dislodges minerals from the inside walls of the pipe. These minerals can cause the water to become discolored.
If customers experience discolored water, they can open an outside faucet at the lowest point on their properties and run it until the water runs clear.
