Water Main Replacement on Freehaven Drive

Montecito Water District is more than one hundred years old—and so are some of its pipelines! As part of its Capital Improvements program, the District will be upgrading approximately 1/3 mile  of water main that dates back to the 1960’s.

These projects improve water delivery reliability by  helping prevent unplanned water outages and water loss experienced during main breaks. While  work is planned in efficient short stretches to minimize impacts, avoiding the Freehaven Drive area  during construction hours is advised.
