Water Services

The Willow Creek Community Services District (WCCSD) owns and operates a 22 mile public water system that serves domestic water to approximately 934 service connections, with a population of 1,743 people. The source of the District’s drinking water is a tributary of the Trinity River in Willow Creek.

In order to be compliant with State Surface Water Treatment Regulations, a new filtration plant was designed and constructed. Funds for the project were obtained from a $2,000,000 grant from the CA Dept. of Health Services and a $495,000 interest free loan from the State Revolving Fund. The new filtration plant, which sits at the mouth of the Willow Creek, was put into operation in June, 2007.
