Subject: Public Hearing on the Draft 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
