Directors of the Placer County Water Agency have set September 6 for adoption of a groundwater management plan for the western portion of the county.
Agency officials said the plan is aimed at sustaining the amount and quality of groundwater and to establish a policy for the long-term availability of groundwater as a resource to meet backup, emergency and peak-demand usage when surface water and reclaimed water are unavailable.
PCWA directors held a public hearing on the plan last Thursday and no
one spoke against it. PCWA’s partners on the plan are the cities of
Lincoln and Roseville and the California American Water Company.
At their September 6 meeting, the directors will also hold a public
hearing on the proposed issuance of $32 million in certificates of
participation (COPs) to fund water system improvements. Similar to
revenue bonds, COPs do not require voter approval.
In other matters last week, the PCWA directors:
— Set November 15 at 2 p.m. for a public hearing on water rates and
water charge raises for inclusion in next year’s agency budget. The
amount of the “adjustments” will be announced in advance of the public
hearing.
— Adopted a resolution in support of the designation of the 100-mile
Western States Trail between Squaw Valley and Auburn as a National
Historic and Scenic Trail.
The board’s September 6 meeting will be in the PCWA Business Center at 144 Ferguson Road, Auburn, starting at 2 p.m.
