The Apple and El Dorado fires burned more than 50,000 acres this fire season, leaving burn scars that prevent soil from absorbing rain. This could cause water, mud, downed trees and other debris to flow downhill and into the community. Go to https://rivcoready.org/Have-a-Plan/Storm-Ready/Apple-El-Dorado-Fire-Info to get details on how to prepare your property, including where to find sandbags.

Flooding, mudslides and debris flow can sometimes cause interruption of water service. BCVWD will activate our outage alert system if your service is impacted. You can sign up to receive water outage email notifications at https://bcvwd.org/email-notifications/ .
