Subject: The 2012 Water Master Plan
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
The Board scheduled a public hearing to receive oral and written comments on the
draft 2012 Water Master Plan.
2. HISTORY
The current Water Master Plan was adopted in 2004. The main purpose of the 2004
update was to consider the impact that the acquisition of the Donner Lake and
Glenshire water systems would have on the overall water system at buildout
conditions and to conduct the appropriate analyses to allow the imposition of Water
System Facility Fees in the Donner Lake and Glenshire areas.
A draft of the 2012 Water Master Plan was presented to the Board on March 7, 2012.
The following public information steps have been undertaken since the March 7
meeting:
1) Hard copies of the draft Water Master Plan have been made available at the
District office and the Truckee Library
2) The draft Water Master Plan is available on the District's website
3) Letters have been mailed to the Town of Truckee, Nevada County and Placer
County, informing them that the draft Water Master Plan is available for public
review
