Amador Water Agency (AWA) wants to emphasize that our drinking water is not impacted by the Coronavirus (COVID-19). According to the State Water Board, Environmental Protection Agency and Center for Disease Control, conventional water treatment methods that use filtration and disinfection, such as those in AWA drinking water systems, remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that Americans continue to use and drink tap water as usual.

Dorrington, CA...Some communities in the Sierra Nevada West Slope area were clobbered in the latest storm. PG&E's outage map and system has been having intermittent outages as well. We have had several viewers reach out to us saying PG&E should be doing a bit more to make their sheltering in place cozier. Looks like the generator need continues unabated...
