History
The District was formed on December 15, 1988, after a public vote
under County Water District Law. As a result of a subsequent public election in
November of 1990, the District acquired the existing water supply system from
Citizens Utilities Company.
The
District's water supply comes from wells near the River and the distribution
facilities consist of two separate water systems: one in Guerneville with three
wells and the other in Monte Rio with two wells.
The District's water distribution system is a result
of water lines being installed over the last 100 years. Although the water
system has been upgraded over the years, major upgrade construction
projects have been taking place since SSWD acquired the water
system.
Today, the Sweetwater
Springs Water District serves approximately 3,600 accounts (95% residential)
comprised of about 9,000 persons. |
