EID customers affected by the outage have been notified via phone, email, and/or text based on the contact information EID has on file.

This outage may affect approximately 1,700 customers.

The customer notification message sent to affected customers is provided below for additional detail and reference.

We regret the inconvenience, but due to a water line break affecting a large area in Placerville you may experience low pressure and water outages. Parcels affected are in the area North and South of Highway 50 between Missouri Flat Road and Highway 49.

EID will be performing work on the water system supplying this area, beginning on Wednesday, October 21, 2026 at 8:00 AM. We anticipate completing the repairs the same day by 6:00 pm. During this time, you may experience low water pressure or loss of water service. Please conserve water by only using it for essential purposes or draw enough water for your needs prior to the start of the outage.

If your water looks cloudy or dirty, do not drink it or use it for food preparation or personal hygiene purposes.

When normal pressure is restored, you might experience a slight discoloration in the water or the presence of air in the system. To correct this, allow one outside tap to run until the water is clear or the air has escaped.

Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.
