‘It’s an infrastructure problem’: Alpine mayor says aging wells, not water supply, behind mandatory restrictions

The City of Alpine is under mandatory Stage-4 Critical Water Shortage conditions due to equipment failures in its municipal well system. This has affected the city's ability to supply and distribute water.

City officials have stated that the restrictions are not a result of a lack of water. The issue lies with the city's aging well infrastructure, which dates back decades. Some of the city's wells were built as far back as the 1960s.

Further details on the situation are available through the specific causes and effects of the equipment failures in Alpine's well system.
