Dry day ahead for Copper - 2004-01-29
Roughly 700 Copperopolis residents will have no water Thursday, Feb. 5, while Calaveras County Water District maintenance workers replace an old water valve.

The cost of replacing the 30-year-old valve, which reduces water pressure before the water goes into customers' homes, will be approximately $35,000.

All Poker Flat, Conner Estates, Calypso Beach and Peninsula Estates residents will be without water from about 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. a week from tomorrow.
