Benicia Completes Pipeline Repair, Lifts Water Conservation Mandate

BENICIA, CA — Water pipeline repairs have been completed at the Benicia Water Treatment Plant and the 30-percent water conservation mandate in place since Sunday has been lifted, the city of Benicia announced Thursday afternoon.

"The City of Benicia is very thankful for the understanding and response by residents and businesses to the city’s request to conserve water while repairs were underway," city officials said.

Customers conserved 4.5 million gallons over the last four days, allowing staff time to make repairs and return to treating water at full capacity, the city said.

"The City Manager and Public Works Director are appreciative for the dedicated Public Works staff and the Benicia City Council for their leadership, as well as the City of Vallejo, Kerex Engineering Inc., Team Industrial Services, Coastland, and State of California regulators for their assistance."
