Summary
The City of East Palo Alto receives all of its potable water supply from three SF RWS turnouts off BDPL 1 and 2. The third 72” pipeline is also in place, but not hooked up. All three turnouts are located in the northern portion of the district, and water is distributed directly to all of the customers within the district’s one pressure zone. The City’s water utility is operated and managed by a private contractor, Veolia North America.
Gloria Way Well is East Palo Alto’s storage facility and is certified for alternate potable water supply sources within the City. The City has one emergency well currently not certified for potable use.
