1960: John and Evelyn Cavanaugh acquire 290 Redwood Dr. lots.
1960’s: Cavanaughs develop their own water system after losing water service from the District and being denied California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) approval to convert the water system to a Mutual Water Company.

Don’t Tuck the Flap!
The weather is getting damp and that brings some unexpected issues…
For those of you who drop your payments in the big green dropbox, we ask that you don’t tuck the envelope flap inside the envelope. With the damp weather, the flap sometimes sticks to the payment check, which can then ruin your check when we try to get it unstuck. Silly things, but many thanks for just folding the envelope flap the normal way.
PFAS Testing
The State is developing regulations around PFAS chemicals in drinking water. Per best practices and recommendations from others, we tested our water in advance of the required testing. We are happy to let you know that both of Pure Source’s wells’ test results were Non-Detect for PFAS. Yay! It was just as we expected, but it is nice to have the official initial test results.
