Dear Valued Lake Piru Visitors:
We would like to thank you for your patience during these unprecedented times associated with the Covid-19 pandemic. The District's biggest concerns have been the safety of our visitors and the preservation of the "Lake Piru experience."
At present, there is no set date for the re-opening of the Lake Piru Recreation Area. The District, in an abundance of caution, has prepared and considered a re-opening plan but ultimately the decision was made to keep the recreation area closed until it can be open and operated at 100 percent with all of its amenities. Given that our public pay an admission fee, we did not want to offer a partial re-opening that would greatly limit the visitor experience, while also posing a public health risk. We are tirelessly updating the phased reopening plan and are keeping our Board of Directors apprised of updated County guidelines and the activities of neighboring recreation areas.
In addition, we are reviewing neighboring recreational areas' operations with an eye toward implementing additional measures from their plans to ensure our re-opening is seamless and that Lake Piru and its staff are well prepared for any associated challenges going forward. For now, however, we are not ready to re-open, but we will be very soon. We encourage the public to keep checking the District's website ( www.unitedwater.org ) and the Lake Piru Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/UWCDLakePiru/ ) as we will announce our re-opening plans on these sites first.
Thank you all for your patience and we look forward to the time when we can welcome you back to the lovely Lake Piru Recreation area. To add your name to the notification list, click here.
