Twentynine Palms Water District Drinking Water Report Info
OUR HISTORY THE OASIS OF MARA The most punctual pilgrims of Twentynine Palms were Native Americans who lived around the Oasis of Mara. By the 1870's, early American diggers motivated by the Gold Rush ventured out to California and settled around the Oasis, trailed by cattlemen in the 1880's who were attracted to the grasslands in the zone. The Oasis gave asylum from the unforgiving encompassing desert condition and kept on drawing in pilgrims all through the 1900's. Reacting TO A GROWING NEED To fulfill developing need, private designers made and kept up little water circulation organizations, and in 1938 the main open water framework was made. Progressively open water organizations framed throughout the years, and at last in 1954, Twentynine Palms occupants casted a ballot to join the current open utility offices to shape the Twentynine Palms County Water District (Charter). Individuals from the Chamber of Commerce known as the "water advisory group" initiated this network exertion, choosing the district's first administering Board of Directors: John Wuerth, John Bagley, William Hatch Jr., John Lyon and Joseph Wasserburger. In 1955, the District received 3 progressively private water organizations, getting more than 200,000 gallons of water. Preceding this, the network had for all intents and purposes no capacity framework, putting the water supply at the hazard on account of crises.

With the execution course of events submitted, financing from the Department of Water Resources and the Environmental Protection Agency enabled the District to make significant framework upgrades. Throughout the following 20 years, in excess of 100,000 feet of pipe-line were supplanted, various stockpiling repositories were developed, and a $1.7 million fluoride water treatment plant was fabricated. These updates carried security and dependability to the Twentynine Palms water supply. In 2005, the District earned another EPA award to aid the development of two increasingly 1,000,000-gallon stockpiling supplies and 43,000 additional feet of pipeline, giving new water stockpiling and upgrading water unwavering quality all through the District. The blend of these enhancements enabled the District to acknowledge and convey water from the fluoride evacuation plant to the whole zone, guaranteeing satisfactory water supplies far into what's to come..
