Curtis Creek Elementary celebrates completion of $2.2 million water project
Curtis Creek Elementary School in Standard now has a safer, more reliable water supply following the completion of a $2.2 million project in collaboration with Tuolumne Utilities District and California State Water Resources Control Board. The project, completed in November and funded by a grant through the State Water Board, involved the construction of more than a mile-long water pipeline to connect the school with TUD’s public water system. Previously, the school relied on a single groundwater well built in 1958 that lacked a backup power source and struggled to meet state standards for capacity and pressure.
