At the direction of the EPA, Sierra Vista Water Association is conducting an inventory to determine whether any service lines to the homes we serve contain lead.

Learn if your home is at risk and how to determine if the service line to your home contains lead.

When Viewmont's old water main was constructed in 1983, SVWA operated just one well and served less than half of the 84 residences it does now. The new, larger main not only improves service along Viewmont, it provides better water pressure to some residents elsewhere in Sierra Vista since the line is part of our overall distribution system.

The new main also replaced all of SVWA's concrete asbestos pipe, eliminating the risk of an environmental hazard in the event of a line break. A new air relief valve, which vents pressure in the system, and a new flushing station were also installed on the north end of Viewmont as part of the project. Construction was done in the fall of 2023.

Water mains are flushed on the last Tuesday of every month. It's advisable not to do laundry on that day to avoid the potential of back pressure introducing manganese into your washer and potentially discoloring your clothing.
