Suisun City Water Supply Switch Could Affect Taste, Pressure

SUISUN CITY, CA — Suisun City residents may notice changes in water taste and pressure as canal repairs temporarily alter the city's water supply beginning Monday.

The Suisun-Solano Water Authority expects the change to last through Nov. 21, although the schedule could shift, according to a notice posted by the Solano Irrigation District.

During repairs to the Putah South Canal, the Cement Hill Water Treatment Plant, the city's primary drinking water source, will be taken offline. Fairfield will temporarily supply water through existing connections.

Residents may notice:

• Taste: A slight difference in flavor.
• Pressure: Lower water pressure in some neighborhoods.
• Fluoride: Unlike the Suisun-Solano Water Authority, Fairfield adds fluoride to its water.

Officials said the water will continue to meet state and federal drinking water standards.

The temporary arrangement will maintain water service and adequate storage for emergencies and firefighting while repairs are completed.

Once work is finished, the authority plans to resume its regular supply from the Cement Hill Water Treatment Plant.
