SunLand Water District President’s Message 2024

The SunLand Water District’s main focus over the past few years has been on infrastructure improvements to ensure continued safe and efficient water and sewer service. 2024 will see the last major upgrade to our sewer collection system with the replacement of the aging Fawnwood sewage lift station. This action should ensure reliable sewer service for the next 30 years or so.

Since the installation of water consumption meters, the District has been able to monitor residential and irrigation water usage and has identified a significant number of leaks which we have fixed. This effort has enabled us to reduce overall water consumption by over 25 million gallons between 2021 and 2022. Additionally, we have worked with Division representatives and irrigation contractors to identify and reduce overwatering, and are working to “stagger” irrigation start times to ensure we always have sufficient main line pressure to maintain fire flow in case of fire. These ongoing efforts have the effects of reducing wear and tear on our system equipment and lowering utility costs.
