Hinkle Reservoir Project
The Citrus Heights Water District (CHWD) serves its customers both surface water purchased from the San Juan Water District (SJWD) and groundwater from CHWD-owned facilities. In November, SJWD will start a major maintenance project on its 62-million-gallon Hinkle Reservoir located near Folsom Dam. During the project (from November 2022 to April 2023), CHWD customers are requested to continue their efficient use of water and limit their outdoor water use in order to reduce surface water demands. If you have questions about the Hinkle Reservoir Project, contact Citrus Heights Water District by calling (916) 725-6873 or by emailing hello@chwd.org.

#CHWD has four active wells and two wells in reserve and is planning to construct two additional wells to better meet the demands of our customers. The new wells will be the first CHWD wells equipped with Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) technology that allows excess surface water to be injected into the ground and stored in wet years, and later extracted in dry periods to meet the water supply needs of CHWD’s customers.
