Water Conservation Hotline: (888) 605-7317
As a result of last winter's heavy rainfall, and because Governor Brown rescinded his May 2016 executive order regarding California's drought, the Board of Directors of Triunfo Sanitation District rescinded the Stage 1 Water Restrictions previously in place for customers of Oak Park Water Service, effective June 26, 2017. Despite the suspension of Stage 1 conditions, the Board reminds customers that the wise use of water remains essential, and the District's basic, permanent water use restrictions remain in effect, as noted below.

California WaterFix
The California WaterFix (formerly the Bay Delta Conservation Plan) is a part of California's overall water management portfolio. It is being developed as a 50-year habitat conservation plan with the goals of restoring the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta ecosystem and securing California's water supplies. The California WaterFix would secure California's water supply by building new water delivery infrastructure and operating the system to improve the ecological health of the Delta. The California WaterFix would also restore or protect approximately 145,000 acres of habitat to address the Delta's environmental challenges.
