HIRSCHDALE WATER SYSTEM REHABILITATION - STATUS REPORT AND DISCUSSION;
POSSIBLE DIRECTION AND/OR ACTION ON RELATED ITEMS
Manager Holzmeister noted that the change order request submitted by Joe
Suter was reviewed by the Water Committee on March 15. Because of
questions raised by several Hirschdale property owners, another committee
meeting was held on March 23, with Consulting Engineer Cook present for
discussion. Unfortunately, Mr. Cook was unable to attend this special
meeting.
Mr. Holzmeister advised that the District received a water quality report
on the Hirschdale well showing iron and manganese concentrations which
exceed the State limits. The State will not permit the well to be used
unless the water is treated, but there is the possibility that the State
will provide additional funding.
Discussion regarding water quality ensued, and the Manager suggested that
the District analyze options in a methodical manner and apply for grant
funding under Proposition 55.
Director Sutton moved, and the motion was duly seconded, that the Board
authorize the Manager to submit a pre-application to the State for grant
funding in the amount of $250,000 for Hirschdale. This would include the
treatment of minerals affecting water quality. All Directors, aye. SO
MOVED,
Mr. Cook's letter concerning the change order requested by Joe Suter was
reviewed. Director Sutton stated she felt the letter should have provided
additional analysis of Mr. Suter' s costs. Because of the lack of
supporting comments by the consulting engineer, the matter was postponed
until Mr. Cook could be present.
