General Plan Water Element Meetings Continue
San Andreas, CA....Development of the county wide water element continue through December 4th. Members from most of the local utility districts and members of the general public have been attending the General Plan Water Element meetings. The attendees discussed water issues affecting the the county now and into the future. They also broke out into groups to discuss goals, conflicts, and interests that surround the General Plan Water Element. There will be four additional meetings on this topic as the group works to complete the General Plan Element....
Water is a very sensitive subject in Calaveras County. There have numerous turf wars over water rights and other water issues among the various utility districts. Some of these skirmishes go back for almost a century. The goal of these discussions is to focus on the common issues without letting the conversations deteriorate into posturing.
The Water Element is vital because it will provide a guideline going forward. There will no doubt be consolidation of the separate utility districts going forward in the future. The regulatory costs will place increasingly heavy fiscal pressure on the smaller districts.
