DISCUSSION OF DISTRICT POLICY AND PRACTIVE REGARDING CUSTOMERS ON LIFE
SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Administrative Services Manager Chapman explained how TDPUD customers on life support are
notified when there are both scheduled and unscheduled outages. There may be room for
improvement to District policies and staff will contact other utilities to learn their practices and also
check applicable laws.
TOWN SPHERE OF INFLUENCE ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT
The Board was provided with copies of the Town's draft Sphere of Influence Report. Comments
should be submitted by February 1, 1998.
The report states it will be Town policy to annex development that is urban in nature, which they
define as development that requires water and sewer service. In other words, the Town will have
a policy of annexing any development that is a customer of Truckee Donner PUD. It is still the
Board's concern that a developer who would benefit by being served by TDPUD water, but who
does not want to be annexed to the Town, may elect to use private wells for water. This could have
significant environmental implications, not to mention potential significant implications on the
District's ability to serve development in its sphere of influence. Mr. Holzmeister was asked to write

a letter indicating the District's concerns.

ADJOURNMENT
