Potential High Winds

In light of the potential power outages announced by SCE, due to high winds, the MMMWC previously adopted a power outage irrigation policy known as P.O.I.S.O.N. (Power Outage Irrigation Shut-Off Notice). The impetus of this policy is the State’s advice that we should plan on continuing planned power outages lasting four to six days.

When a power outage occurs for any duration, especially longer than 24 hours, unintended stress is placed on our water system. This includes the depletion of the water supply in the tanks for consumption and fire suppression along with failures of the telemetry system caused by erratic power fluctuations.

The MMMWC will notify members by e-mail if a shut-off appears prolonged. It will be the responsibility of the member to turn off their irrigation system during the outage. Failure to turn off the irrigation system may result in the MMMWC shutting off service to the home along with a $300 charge for disconnection and re-connection. Re-connection will not occur until a representative of the member is available at the site and the availability of personnel to turn the water back on.
