The Garretson Blend Cell is a major hub for the distribution of treated groundwater in our system. With the facility being shut down following Wednesday’s incident we have made some operational adjustments that are in effect until the facility is restored. These recent modifications in operations have changed the source water temporarily that may affect the aesthetics of the water. While seasonal source water changes are normal, usually they occur incrementally. In this case the change was sudden, therefore more noticeable. Essentially we went from a blend of groundwater and surface water to primarily surface water. Rest assured that the drinking water in Corona continues to meet state and federal standards and is a safe to consume. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or would like to request that a staff member contact you directly. Thank you for the report!
