The Crescenta Valley Water District (CVWD) would like to inform you of an upcoming repair project in your area. In July 2023, CVWD awarded J. Colon Coatings of Alta Loma, CA the contract to complete this work, which was successfully finished in early 2024. However, a follow-up inspection identified minor areas of corrosion requiring additional attention. Maintaining a safe, reliable, and high-quality water supply remains our highest priority. To ensure continued integrity and protect the recent investment in rehabilitating the Goss Canyon water tank, J. Colon Coatings will conduct the necessary repairs at the site as part of our ongoing commitment to infrastructure maintenance.

The Contractor, J. Colon Inc. will begin mobilizing on Thursday, January 29, 2026, when the 500,000-gallon storage tank will be taken out of service while welding and other internal and external steel components of the structure are repaired. In addition, to help the contractor stay on schedule and ensure a high-quality finished product on the interior surfaces, dehumidification equipment will be placed on site.  This equipment may run twenty-four (24) hours throughout the duration of the project and is typically turned off on weekends.  This is a necessary measure to adhere to coating manufacturer requirements and prevent issues such as rust blooms, blistering and curing failures on the interior surfaces.

Work hours are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Water service to residents will not be disrupted for this project.
