Sonora, CA — PG&E has begun repairing damage to the Tuolumne Main Canal and hopes to have the work completed by Saturday.
Officials learned that a large tree fell and damaged a flume. TUD is asking customers to conserve water until repairs are completed. No water is currently being conveyed through the main canal due to the damage. Weather permitting, PG&E hopes to have repairs done by this Saturday, January 1.
PG&E used a helicopter to locate the damage. Access to the area has been challenging due to the heavy snow.
