The Paradise Irrigation District announced on Wednesday that it has lifted the water advisory lifted at 27 customer addresses
PID said the 27 service locations are a mix of businesses and residences in Paradise.
According to Google Maps, Mize Automotive, Butte County Fire Station 35, Paradise Unified School District Offices, Fastrip on Clark Road, Dutch Bros., Pelican’s Roost, Wells Fargo, Starbucks, Skyway Feed & Supply, Feather River Health Center and Paradise Fire Station 1 were among the customers who were lifted.
PID says that before it lifts a water quality advisory to a service location, the water within PID’s service lateral (the portion of small diameter water pipe that runs from the water main at the street to the customers’ water meter location) at that location must meet all regulatory standards. Water in the service lateral is sampled and tested after a 72-hour stagnation period.
Then it tests and confirms that the water main (large pipeline) serving that service location as well as the network of water mains leading from the water treatment plant to the service location also meet regulatory standards for potable water.
PID will continue to monitor and test water mains to confirm that the water being delivered continues to meet all regulatory standards. This ongoing testing is consistent with the confirmation testing PID has always done to ensure that it was delivering water in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Once the water quality advisory is lifted at PID’s service lateral, the customer is informed by letter that the water quality advisory has been lifted at the service lateral which serves their address and encouraged to take necessary steps to test and evaluate their customer-side plumbing before resuming regular use.
PID will be providing an update on the recovery process at our next community meeting to be held on July 15 at 6 p.m. at the Paradise Alliance Church.
We update this story as information becomes available.
