IDYLLWILD WATER DISTRICT JANUARY 2010 NEWSLETTER

STATUS OF RECYCLED WATER PROJECT GRANT FUNDS — We should receive a decision soon for our $22,750 grant application for the project “planning phase.” Based on receiving approval we will apply for an additional $75,000 for the construction phase. The recycled water project total estimated project cost is $150,000. This project could provide 10,000 to 20,000 gallons of recycled water per day for interested customers for irrigation use. The recycled water will be delivered by truck to customers with approved green tanks. The District will need to provide tank inspections to ensure there are no cross-connections before approving recycled water to customers. Final consideration for approval by the board members will be needed. DISTRICT GOALS — The Board approved a list of nine goals at the December 15th Board meeting. In the next six months, the rates and charges, rules and regulations, and personnel policies and procedures hopefully will be updated. REDUCED PRESSURE BACKFLOW DEVICES — Many businesses in the Idyllwild Water District received letters requesting that reduced pressure backflow devices be installed. Several have been installed and tested as required. All requested devices should be installed by the end of February. COMPUTER OPERATED WATER SYSTEM — The District contracted with Digital Telecommunication Systems (DTS) to install a “state of the art” computer control system to automate the operation and monitor our water system facilities. Progress is being made — DTS is currently installing systems at the Golden Rod, Rockdale and South Ridge sites. We currently have a computer control system operating our Wildwood water system zone. TWO NEW WELLS — IWD will be soliciting bids for drilling two new test wells — one on Lower Pine Crest Avenue and one on South Circle Drive. The test wells will help us determine whether to drill a production well which will be based on receiving good water samples and a minimum of 25 gallons per minute production. 2010 CENSUS TESTING — Census testing will take place at the IWD Boardroom January 14th, 21st and 28th at 10:00 a.m. These part-time jobs offer good pay and flexible hours. Approximately 300 workers will be canvassing the Idyllwild area beginning March 22nd. More information is available at www.2010censusjobs.gov or (800) 861-2010. CONGRATULATIONS!!! — Kudos to our District employees. Mark Klingaman passed his Grade I water treatment operator exam and Jack Easley passed his Grade III water distribution operator exam. They will receive their water certificates in the near future. Wishing all of our customers a happy and prosperous New Year.

Cpl. Todd Garvin from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, and his bloodhound “Inga” were part of the Bloodhound Seminar held at Pathfi nder Ranch and in Idyllwild from Jan. 6 through Jan. 10.
