YLWD Celebrates Water Awareness Month by Hosting Director-Led Infrastructure Tour by Yorba Linda Water District Jun 2, 2025 Member Submitted News Each year, water agencies across the state of California celebrate May as Water Awareness Month. To celebrate, the District hosted an informative infrastructure tour led by Board Director Trudi DesRoches on Wednesday, May 28, 2025. This event provided customers and members of our community with a behind-the-scenes look at YLWD’s state-of-the-art facilities, highlighting the District’s commitment to providing high-quality, reliable water and sewer services. The tour showcased several key sites, beginning with the J. Wayne Miller, Ph.D. Water Treatment Plant, the largest Ion-Exchange PFAS Water Treatment Plant in the nation! Attendees also toured YLWD’s Highland Reservoir & Booster Pump Station, Fairmont Reservoir & Booster Pump Station, Camino De Bryant Reservoir, and the Wells Fargo Heli-Hydrant & Landing Zone. These facilities are critical to providing our customers with high-quality, reliable water every day, representing just a fraction of the 56,000 individual assets YLWD operates and maintains to keep the water flowing. “Hosting this tour allows us to demonstrate the complex processes and hard work that ensure high-quality water services,” said Trudi DesRoches. “We take immense pride in our operations and are thrilled to share our efforts with the community.” YLWD is committed to transparency and education, inviting customers and community members to learn more about our operations.
