Update at 5:50 p.m.: Tuolumne Utilities District has released new information about what caused the district to issue a boil notice to customers in the Brentwood area of Tuolumne County. TUD spokesperson Emily Long gives this update to Clarke Broadcasting, “It has been determined that the low pressure in the system was caused by a water main line break near Sullivan Creek on South Fork Road, causing the Lakewood Water Tank to drain.” She added, “The repair has been completed, and the line is being flushed. Once flushing is complete, water quality samples will be taken later this evening. The District anticipates being able to lift the Boil Water Advisory once all samples have passed safety standards, sometime on Friday, January 6th, 2023.”
