DO NOT DRINK YOUR WATER

 What should I do?

•  DO NOT DRINK YOUR TAP WATER---USE ONLY BOTTLED WATER.  Bottled water should be used for all drinking (including baby formula and juice), brushing teeth, washing dishes, making ice and food preparation until further notice. 

•  DO NOT TRY AND TREAT THE WATER YOURSELF.  Boiling, freezing, filtering, adding chlorine or other disinfectants, or letting water stand will not make the water safe.

• Optional:  Potable bottled water is available at the following location: _Pajaro Park at 24 San Juan Road and Pajaro Middle School at 250 Salinas Road, Royal Oaks, CA 95076__

The water service was restored on March 25, 2023, and we informed you of unsafe water. Since then, we have flushed the source and distribution system and collected multiple samples from the source and from the distribution system available on our website pajarosunnymesa.com under the water quality tab. We expect to have all results by April 10, 2023, and will provide an update of the water quality.
