Tuolumne Utilities Districts (TUD) receives one of the largest state grant awards for water system consolidation and will bring cost savings to the district and customers. A $45.6 million State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) grant/loan has been awarded to the district to construct a state-of-the-art 3 million gallons per day (mgd) regional water treatment facility at Sierra Pines in Twain Harte. The Sierra Pines Regional Water Treatment Facility (WTF) Consolidation Project aims to consolidate up to six aging surface water treatment plants, replacing them with advanced technology to ensure enhanced reliability and superior water quality for TUD customers.
