Two Temporary Shutdowns Beginning in October for System Improvements
San Jose Water announced two temporary shutdowns of the Penitencia Water Treatment Plant, East Pipeline, West Pipeline, and Rinconada Water Treatment Plant for system improvements in various zones of San Jose, California. From October 19, 2026, to April 28, 2027, affected areas, including Alum Rock, Cambrian, and Saratoga Hills, will experience a water source change. During this time, water will be disinfected with free chlorine instead of chloramine, and groundwater supplies will lead to increased water hardness, requiring adjustments for customers with fish tanks, dialysis equipment, or specialized water needs.
