Helix Water District: Did You Miss Helix Water Chats? Here It Is

Press release from Helix Water District:

February 5, 2021

Last week we hosted a live event on Facebook all about water tanks. Our water tanks are everywhere. Some are on hillsides, some are in neighborhoods, and some you don’t see, like the tank buried underneath the grass field at Harry Griffen Park in La Mesa.

Last week’s Water Chat gave customers an inside look at our tanks: why we have tanks where we do, how they help us provide safe and reliable water 24/7, and what Helix is doing to maintain, repair and improve them.

We started the evening with an overview of Helix, why tanks are critical to keeping the water flowing for 277,000 people every day, and how our water distribution system works. We explain how we move water in our simple gravity-fed systems and expand to the complex water delivery system we manage, containing 35 pressure zones, 25 tanks and 25 pump stations. We also shared stories about some of the more memorable tanks in our community, including the Fletcher Hills Combo tank near Grossmont College and State Route 125.

It’s not too late – you can watch the presentation below. And don’t forget to follow our Facebook page for future events and information.
