As part of our infrastructure improvement program, Carpinteria Valley Water District (CVWD) crews will be replacing one or more broken mainline valves in and around the area of Sterling Ave. The work is scheduled to take place on Thursday August 7, 2025; the water will be shut off on Thursday August 7, 2025 from: 8:30am - 4:30pm. These valves are critical components of our water distribution system. When functioning properly, they allow us to isolate sections of the pipeline for repairs or emergencies without disrupting service to the entire neighborhood. Replacing them ensures we can respond quickly and effectively to future leaks or maintenance needs, minimizing service interruptions and water loss. Every effort will be made to minimize the duration of the shutdown and restore water service as quickly and safely as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. If you have any questions regarding this work, please feel free to contact the District at (805) 684-2816. View a map of the affected area by clicking here.
