A big thank you to our local firefighters with the Orange County Fire Authority for their incredible work in swiftly containing the Beacon Fire in Laguna Niguel. Their heroic actions protected homes and critical facilities in the area.
As soon as the fire was reported, Moulton Niguel Water District staff deployed additional resources, including mobile pumps, generators, and staff to help support firefighting efforts. Our new helicopter hydrant system in Aliso Viejo was also operational and ready for use.
Moulton Niguel continues to make ongoing investments in emergency preparedness to provide first responders with the infrastructure and resources they need to keep our community safe.
Moulton Niguel is midway through a $2 million project to rehabilitate one of our local reservoirs. Our local water reservoirs ensure that we have water in an emergency.
Key improvements include applying new interior and exterior coatings and installing a cathodic protection system to protect the steel. These enhancements, along with some safety improvements, will significantly strengthen the reservoir’s long-term reliability and ensure our ongoing fire preparedness.
As fire season across Southern California continues to grow in duration and intensity, we’re always working to stay prepared.
