SSWD Signs Long-Term Exclusive Groundwater Well Maintenance Contract 

This past October, SSWD finalized a contract with Kirby’s Pump and Mechanical, Inc., a licensed well contractor, to provide maintenance and repair services for the District’s groundwater wells for the next five years.

The lack of groundwater well contractors is an ongoing issue for private and public water providers throughout California. By entering into an exclusive agreement with Kirby’s, SSWD has ensured the District’s groundwater wells will be serviced and maintained in a timely and efficient manner.

SSWD has utilized the services of Kirby’s for roughly 20 years, and both predecessor agencies (Arcade Water District and Northridge Water District) utilized them as well.

This long-term contract is an important expansion of SSWD’s preventative maintenance program and will be vital in helping the District maintain an adequate water supply.

Your Water is Safe To Drink

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that Americans continue using and drinking tap water as usual – COVID-19 is not present in drinking water supplies.  The World Health Organization (WHO) stated that “the presence of the COVID-19 virus has not been detected in drinking-water supplies, based on current evidence the risk to water supplies is low.” 

Sacramento Suburban Water District (SSWD) strictly adheres to State and Federal drinking water regulations that are designed to keep your water safe.  SSWD’s State-certified operators continue to treat and test the water as well as maintain and monitor the water system overall. This is how we will continue to ensure our customers receive the same high quality water and service that they have come to expect.

SSWD customers are welcome to call 916.679.2888 to learn more about their drinking water, including the sources used, the treatment, and delivery or submit questions via email at environmental_compliance@sswd.org.
