Water-saving efforts helped preserve pressure, supply during River Fire
When hit suddenly by wildfire this week, people in Colfax responded the way many in towns on the verge of being evacuated from their homes often do. They turned on their sprinklers to dampen property and broke out their garden hoses to spray down their homes and rooftops. Then, the Placer County Water Agency (PCWA) issued an urgent plea during the fire crisis for residents to conserve water.
