Fallbrook has ‘Magic’
FHD pays CHS $5 million; other Oldest living Polish Arabian mare lives on local ranch progress minimal Debbie Ramsey Managing Editor The progress made by Fallbrook Healthcare District (FHD), taxed with finding and securing more medical services for the community following the closure of Fallbrook Hospital six months ago, is minimal. The main item that appears to have been settled is the amount the district would pay Community Health Services/Fallbrook Hospital Corporation (CHS/FHC), which elected to terminate its lease of the hospital in December 2014.

Fallbrook High considers restructure plan Debbie Ramsey Managing Editor A concept is being discussed and developed that may lead to Fallbrook High School changing its administrative infrastructure in an effort to provide more one-onone help and guidance for students. The thought is that if smaller “learning communities” were created within the greater student population, administrators could be assigned specifically to groups

The San Diego County Water Authority has deemed work on the relining of three SDCWA pipelines along the San Luis Rey River as complete. The work, which has been visible over the past few months, was to be done early in the SR76 East widening project. A unanimous CWA board vote May 28 approved the Notice of Completion for the project while authorizing the release of funds to contractor L.H. Woods and Sons, Inc., which had been held in retention. The CWA’s Second Aqueduct includes Pipelines 3, 4, and 5. Pipelines 3 and 5 currently convey untreated water along the San Diego Aqueduct. Pipeline 4 conveys treated water. (The master plan update adopted by the CWA in March 2014 includes switching Pipeline 3 to treated water and Pipeline 4 to untreated water, which would increase the CWA’s untreated water conveyance capacity, during the 2020-25 timeframe.) Pipeline 3 is a welded steel pipe 72 inches in diameter, Pipeline 4 is a prestressed concrete cylinder pipe with a 90-inch diameter, and Pipeline 5 is a prestressed concrete cylinder pipe 96 inches in diameter. Several pipeline failures in the early 1990s resulted in the CWA’s 1992 creation of the Aqueduct Protection Program for pipeline constructed prior to 1984. The program included an initial assessment which determined the estimated remaining service life of pipeline portions and the frequency of internal inspections which are used to adjust the replacement and relining schedules. Pipeline 4 was scheduled to be rehabilitated during fiscal year 2017. However, the widening of State Route 76 between South
