This Executive Order originally issued March 2020 prohibited shutting off water service for non-payment. The CA Governor has extended the moratorium via SB 155, through December 31, 2021.

Casitas Connection turned on July 27, 2021
To help meet current customer water demand, MOWD had to begin purchasing water. Customers may experience slightly lower than normal water pressure during this time. Customers may also notice a slight difference in color and taste between the MOWD and Casitas Water. MOWD uses chlorine for disinfection, while Casitas MWD uses chloramines for disinfection.

PLEASE CONSERVE!
Due to increased water demands, the District had to turn on its connection to Casitas Municipal Water District (9/29/2020) to supplement the groundwater supply pumped from our wells.
We are still in a Stage 3 Drought, we are noticing increased water consumption during the daytime hours.
Reminder to not irrigate between 10 am – 6 pm.
