Station Water Supply Overview
Walnut Station’s water service is provided by the Walnut Valley Water Company.
Walnut Valley Water Company operates its own water wells and has extensive water storage facilities. These resources are available to the station if normal water service is disrupted during a disaster event.
Back-up Water Supply
The station EOC has an emergency supply of bottled water (40 gallons), which is stored in boxes inside room B-16.
If additional bottled drinking water is needed during a disaster, it should be requested from Internal Services Division (ISD) in the form of an emergency request (refer to the logistics notebook in the station EOC for procedures and phone numbers). ISD will either send the water or issue an emergency purchase order to obtain the water from local suppliers.
In the event water service is disrupted, Walnut Station is on the list of facilities that have top priority with respect to service restoration. In the interim, the station can obtain water from Walnut Valley Water Company, 271 South Brea Canyon Road, Walnut. The water company has fitted these facilities with manifolds designed to distribute potable water to city residents and businesses. In addition to the large amount of water stored in tanks, the facilities have the capability of replenishing the supply by operating pumps by electric generators on site. The station has xxx 5-gallon “igloo” type portable water containers available for immediate use (disinfect before use). Larger or additional containers or tanks to transport and dispense water should be obtained from ISD.
In addition, the city of Rowland Heights has a water company called Rowland Water District. The water company has fitted these facilities with manifolds designed to distribute potable water to city residents and businesses. In addition to the large amount of water stored in tanks, the facilities have the capability of replenishing the supply by operation pumps by electric generators on site.
