We have had CCWD water for twenty four years and have been very happy with their service. In spite of many severe winter storms at 4,700 feet elevation here in Dorrington, during which PG&E has not delivered power often for one to two days and twice for four days, CCWD has never failed to deliver water. This means they keep their generators running in the worst winter storms. The CCWD staff who maintain the water lines also do excellent work. A tree fell on the power lines in our neighborhood and knocked down two utility poles during a winter storm. In the process of replacing the poles, PG&E accidentally cut through the CCWD water line and damaged the CCWD meters under one of the poles. CCWD came out during the storm and re-established the water and replaced the two water meters under that pole with new meters. We have also found that the staff at CCWD has always been helpful and friendly in answering questions when we have had occasion to call.
