Parlier finalizing TCP filtration and bringing additional wells online; residents may see temporary pressure fluctuations
Summary
Public‑works staff reported final stages of the TCP water‑filtration project, activation of Well 9 as filtered water, and inspections of three additional wells; staff said tank flushing and programming may cause short-term pressure changes before full service resumes.
Public‑works staff updated the Parlier City Council on July 3 that the city is finalizing the TCP filtration project and bringing additional wells back into service.
What staff reported
Public‑works staff said Well 9 is filtered water and is active; the city is moving to a remote SCADA system that will let staff monitor and operate valves and pumps in real time. The department said it has inspections under way for three additional wells; each well requires state inspection and approval before activation.
Residents may notice pressure fluctuations: Staff warned that tank flushing and system programming during testing can lower water pressure on affected blocks for short intervals while equipment is cleaned and brought online.
Nut graf: The TCP project’s finalization, coupled with bringing standby wells online and a SCADA upgrade, is intended to restore treated water service and improve system monitoring, but staff said residents could see temporary service effects during the transition.
Details and timeline
- Well activations: Staff reported inspections for Well 2A and others were ongoing and that the city will bring each well online after state inspection and programming.
- SCADA and remote control: The new system will allow public‑works staff to operate valves, see pressures, and change settings remotely, which staff said will enable faster response and more efficient system management.
- Expected completion: Staff said the system should be in final testing and cleaning this month and that fully filtered water is expected by the end of the month, contingent on passing inspections.
Ending: Staff said they will continue updates to the council and asked residents to report extended low pressure; the city expects the new filtration and remote-monitoring systems to improve reliability once testing and inspections are complete.
