Hundreds of Los Gatos residents lose water service for days
Hundreds of Los Gatos residents had their water service shut off on Saturday afternoon, and it’s not clear when their taps will be flowing again. The entire mountain community of Aldercroft Heights, off of Highway 17 in Los Gatos, is impacted by what the neighborhood’s water provider, Aldercroft Heights County Water District, called a “facility water leak.” As many as 400 residents were without water as of Monday afternoon, and Eric Lacy, who works for the state Water Resources Control Board, said looking for the leak is like finding a needle in a haystack. The water provider isolated its entire system to boost storage tank levels and save as much water as they could.
