10/07/2025 Update

At roughly 7:30 PM yesterday 10/06, the Public Works team completed emergency repairs to the water line and water service was restored to the northside of town north of highway 70.

The water line was fractured due to the unavoidable growth of multiple tree roots, which had to be removed in order to complete the repair.

Note:

The water service area north of highway 70 is currently under a "Boil Water Notice" as a precaution.

This notice was communicated to residents in the area in person, via the City's website and Facebook, and through the Plumas County Sheriff's Office emergency alert system. City staff will be canvassing the affected area today handing out the notice.

If you have any questions, please reach out to City Hall at 530-832-4216.
