“SLVWD” from page 10 We are especially excited to start the reconstruction of the Fall Creek Fish ladder and the replacement of a major pipeline along Quail Hollow Road. We have seen crucial planning documents adopted by the board of directors. The Urban Water Management Plan, Water System Master Plan, Fire Management Plan, Forest Management Plan, and the Emergency Response Plan, all adopted in 2021 to guide the district. In 2022 the district will increase the number of “smart meters” in its system, allowing customers to monitor their water consumption and add online video chat to make connecting with customer service more efficient. The district also started work on consolidating with three small water mutual companies, Forest Springs (128 connections) Bracken Brae (24 connections) and Big Basin Water (500 connections and outside the SLV Water District sphere of influence) — all severely impacted in the CZU wildfire. A state grant of $3.2 million was awarded to the district to move the consolidation of Forest Springs and Bracken Brae mutuals forward. Further grant funding for the consolidation of Big Basin Water Co. is being explored by district staff. The district is committed to providing a safe, reliable water supply for everyone we serve. We look forward to continuing progress on infrastructure upgrades and recovery in 2022. ••• Completed in 2021 • 2020 Pipeline (California Dr, Middle Dr, Beverly Dr, Fern Dr & Reynolds Dr) • Lompico tanks replaced (Kaski, Lewis, & Madrone) • Riverside Grove booster station, fireresistant roof (CZU) • Little Lyon, interior & exterior recoating (CZU)
