The City of Ceres is excited to announce a new water supply source through the Regional Surface Water Supply Project (RSWSP).

As a partner in the Stanislaus Regional Water Authority (SRWA), the city will receive water from the Tuolumne River that has undergone state-of-the art treatment at the new Stanislaus Regional Water Treatment Plant under a permit to operate from the state of California. The city will begin integrating this new supply of water into the existing water system starting this fall.

This new water source will add significantly to Ceres’ drinking water supply and ensure a more resilient water supply in times of drought. Long-term benefits of the project include improved water quality and helping to replenish groundwater supplies so Ceres residents can enjoy clean, healthy and sustainable water for the future.
