The torrential storms of late December caused significant damage to Williams Canyon, washing out a road along with Irvine Ranch Water District mains that supply water service to residents. Over several days, including Christmas, crews worked in the rain to provide access for equipment and construct two water bypass lines to restore water to residents. The first bypass line was completed on December 24. The second bypass was completed on December 29. IRWD thanks our customers for their patience and support during this difficult time.  We also want to extend a big thank you to our crews that worked over the holidays to get the job done.
