Requesting Approval From Nevada Local Agency Formation Commission to Provide
Service Outside the District's Jurisdictional Boundaries, Thus Permitting the District to
Provide Water Service in the Territory Currently Served by Glenshire Mutual Water
Company
WHEREAS the Glenshire Mutual Water Company (Company) has experienced problems with
water quality and water quantity in its wells; and
WHEREAS Company has determined that the cost to resolve these problems on its own far
exceeds the cost of allowing the Truckee Donner Public Utility District to become the water
purveyor within the current service territory of Company; and
WHEREAS the Glenshire Mutual Water Company has asked that District become the water
service provider in its service territory; and
WHERAS Company and District have negotiated an agreement under the terms of which
customers in the Glenshire service territory will bear the cost of all improvements needed to
solve the water quality and supply problems by means of a transference of assets from
Company to District and by agreeing to a surcharge on the monthly water bills for a period of
twenty (20) years sufficient to cover all costs of necessary improvements; and
WHERAS the current jurisdictional boundaries of District include approximately the western one-
third (1/3) of the service territory of Company, but the remaining two-thirds (2/3) of the service
territory of Company are outside the jurisdictional territory of District; and
WHEREAS the area outside District's jurisdictional boundary that is within the Company service
territory is within District's sphere of influence; and
WHEREAS District intends to apply to Nevada LAFCo for annexation of the portions of
Company's service territory that are outside the District's jurisdictional territory; and
WHEREAS the District needs to proceed immediately to make system improvements in order to
resolve the water quality and supply problems such, that waiting for completion of the annexation
process will result in hardship on the customers with the service territory of Company; and
WHEREAS the District may provide service outside its jurisdictional boundaries pursuant to
Section 56153 of the Government Code if it requests and receives authority;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF TRUCKEE
