San Andreas, CA…With the recent flooding of Big Trees Creek in White Pines that damaged Blagen Road and exposed a portion of Calaveras County Water District’s (CCWD) old water transmission pipeline that still serves the town of Arnold, CCWD has taken steps to help protect the pipeline from failure as the creek, and debris flowing in it, could cause it to break. After thoroughly evaluating all available options to further protect the community’s water supply, CCWD has determined it is necessary to move forward in taking this section of the old pipeline out of service by expediting connection to the recently constructed Reach 3A water transmission main. Tomorrow, Wednesday, January 18, 2017,

Patient Comfort Is Goal For Diagnostic Imaging Team At Mark Twain Medical Center |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 01/13/2017 07:52 PM
|
San Andreas, CA...The Diagnostic Imaging team at Mark Twain Medical Center knows their services can be scary. That’s why they concentrate as much on patient service skills as they do on state-of-the art equipment. Imaging Services Director Rick Reed explains, “We understand that our tests can create some anxious situations for patients. The equipment can be intimidating, so it’s important we help patients understand the process and make the experience as pleasant as possible. We emphasize these tests are a critical first step in their treatment.” The department provides a wide range of services and averages some 2,500 tests a month. On-site that includes general X-ray, CT scan, nuclear medicine, ultra sound, mammography, and MRI; plus a mobile PET CT that visits MTMC every other week.

Arnold, CA...Update at 11 a.m. Thursday Jan. 12: CCWD Crews worked with T&S Construction throughout the night Wednesday to stabilize the exposed water transmission pipeline that provides Arnold’s main water supply. A metal I-beam was placed across the washed-out section of Blagen Road directly over the exposed pipeline, and heavy duty straps were wrapped from the beam to the pipeline to provide stability. These straps will help immobilize the pipe and reduce the risk of failure.
