Are you ready if the tap runs dry?

Are you ready if the tap runs dry?

Following a big earthquake or if a pipe bursts in your neighborhood, you may be out of water. Our crews work fast, but repairs on broken pipes take time. One of the most important things you can do to prepare for emergencies—big or small—is having enough water stored for you, your family and pets.

Your emergency water supplies at home will help you bridge the gap until water service is restored or water distribution sites are ready. EBMUD is meeting with local cities in the service area to discuss how, who and when water would be distributed to areas where it’s needed after an earthquake.

When disaster strikes, EBMUD must assess damage and repair our pipes so the water can flow. Be prepared and setup your emergency water supplies.
