The general managers of both water agencies that provide service to Fallbrook/Bonsall customers say statements released by the State Water Resources Control Board on July 30 did not reflect accurate information for the effort local residents put forth in conserving water during the month of June. “Based on recorded June sales data, FPUD residential customers actually reduced water usage by 31 percent, not nine percent, as reported by the state water board recently,” said FPUD general manager Brian Brady. “That earlier report indicated that FPUD missed its conservation reduction target by 27 percent, placing it as the second-worst performing water district in the state.” FPUD reached a corrected agreement with the State Water Resources Control Board on the data. In a meeting on Aug. 12, FPUD and board officials agreed that the mix up centered on the conversion of customer sales data, used by FPUD, into water production figures required by the state board.

STEP, Rock Rose School awarded county funds Joe Naiman Village News Correspondent
The $11,824 appropriated Aug. 4 from the Neighborhood Reinvestment Program budget of County Supervisor Bill Horn will provide $6,154 to Support The Enlisted Project (STEP) and $5,760 to Rock Rose School for Creative Learning in Fallbrook. The 5-0 San Diego County Board of Supervisors vote will allow STEP to purchase supplies which will be utilized for the organization’s ‘Cammies to College’ event and will fund building renovation activities at the Rock Rose School. The Neighborhood Reinvestment Program is intended to provide grants to non-profit organizations for the furtherance of public purposes at the regional and community levels. In addition to non-profit organizations, county supervisors can also fund schools and fire departments, and supervisors can also use money from their budgets to supplement other county funding for specific county projects such as parks, roads, and libraries.
