PGUD not only analyzes the geographical characteristics of the route, but also considers many other factors such as public utilities, sinkholes, ponds, trees, cemeteries and other improvements along the route. Ultimately, the final route chosen is the path that minimizes the disturbance of private property and is the most financially feasible.

Approved Backflow Prevention Devices are required at certain Commercial and Residential service connections according to the Districts Cross Connection Plan. This Plan requires that all customers consult PGUD Cross Connection Coordinator before all new meter sets and before making any change to existing plumbing. Free literature and consulting is provided to all customers. Please call our office.
