Responding to COVID-19
The Orange County Water District will reopen District facilities to the public beginning October 1, 2021.
Doing our part to reduce the spread
In an abundance of caution and to safeguard the health and safety of its employees and the community, OCWD responded to COVID-19 by implementing measures to reduce the risk of workplace transmission. As the District returns to normal operations, it will follow a COVID-19 Prevention Program, which includes the following:
- Visitors must complete the COVID-19 Visitor Form each day they arrive at OCWD
- Visitors must wear a face covering indoors if they are unvaccinated
COVID-19 and your water supply
COVID-19 has impacted our daily lives, but one thing it does not impact is your water. Your drinking water remains safe, clean and reliable. Your tap water meets strict state and federal water quality guidelines and is treated to remove pathogens, including viruses such as COVID-19.
