Details are forthcoming. In the meantime, we ask that you continue to do your part by reducing your total water consumption during the remainder of the hot, dry summer and spread usage out over the week to lessen the weekend peak demands.

Important Information about upcoming Projects
Verano Conchas Loop Pipeline Replacement
Starting August 2022 through March 2023
The scope of the project includes the installation of over 6,000 feet of new
6-inch waterline and 200 new water service laterals, as both reach the end
of their expected useful service life. While not a complicated project, it will involve some project coordination and cooperation from homeowners residing in this area. On August 2, 2022, area residents were invited to and participated in a neighborhood meeting where the District and its contractor shared details regarding project schedules. (See ZOOM meeting below)

Many of you may have already taken note that contractors are mobilizing at the Tank 4 Site near Avenida Del Monte Alto and Avenida Vista Grande and also near the District's Well 2A/2B Site (starting point) on Alcalde Road and Avenida De Compadres, to begin construction of this project.

Common Questions
What is our water hardness?
Generally, the water hardness in Eldorado is about 300-350 parts per million or milligrams per liter. This is also equivalent to about 17-20 grains per gallon. If you wish to soften your tap water with a commercially available water softener, the installer will want to know this water hardness level in order to properly adjust the softener.
