STATE RECOMMENDS OVER $5 MILLION GRANT TO AWA FOR WATER CONSERVATION PROJECT
(Sutter Creek) The Amador Water Agency received notice this week that Amador County is poised to receive an award of $5,126,560 to pay for a critical water conservation project that has been pending for several years.
AWA applied for the grant from the California Dept. of Water Resources to install a small pipeline in a section of the open ditch Amador Canal that delivers raw, untreated water from Lake Tabeaud to New York Ranch Reservoir. The recommended award will cover 100 percent of the cost to construct the pipeline.
An estimated 1,800 acre-feet of water is lost from the canal every year through leaks and evaporation. For comparison, average homes in Amador County use one-third to one-half an acre-foot per year.
“If the current drought continues, water conserved through this project could mean the difference between meeting drinking water demands for the majority of AWA customers, or not,” said AWA General Manager Gene Mancebo.
The proposed Upper Amador Canal Untreated Pipeline Project will replace 18 miles of the earthen, unlined Amador Canal from New York Ranch Reservoir to Lake Tabeaud with a 6- to l2-inch diameter pipeline, reducing water loss, improving water supply reliability, and protecting water quality for the raw water users.
The pipeline is the second of two phases of the Amador Transmission Project, completed in 2007, that replaced a portion of the open canal Lake Tabeaud to Tanner Reservoir with 8.8 miles of 30-inch pipeline. Completing the piping of the canal has been on hold while the Water Agency sought a grant to cover the significant cost of construction.
Mancebo said the Water Agency will hold informational meetings on the project in the future. About 100 property owners currently receive raw water from the open canal.
According to Mancebo, the Agency is on a tight schedule to complete grant requirements, and Agency staff has proposed to hire outside engineering firms to complete final design, plans, and specifications for construction.

Why to Look Out for the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug
Are you being Bugged? By Mary Tran A year ago we asked you, “Have You Seen This Bug?” It was an alert, to let you know that the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB), a new pest attacking many crops, might be coming to our county. There are plenty of BMSB in Sacramento and other parts of the state. So far, there have been no sightings in our county. Whew! The UC Cooperative Extension has actively watched for them since April, using traps set up in several parts of our county. No BMSB have been caught to date. Now that the weather is turning cooler, if there are any BMSB hiding out in our county they will be looking for nice places to spend the winter, such as your house. That means that the first person to spot one of these guys could be an innocent homeowner. The BMSB may arrive in large numbers, or just singly, through house cracks, tiny holes or clinging to windows, and they will stink if you try to sweep them or vacuum them up. If you find any suspect BMSB clustering on trees in your area, or in your house, please try to collect a sample. Put it into a sealable plastic container and bring it to UC Cooperative Extension, 311 Fair Lane, Placerville. For questions or help with samples, you can contact Mary Tran (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) or Lynn Wunderlich, Farm Advisor, UC Cooperative Extension Central Sierra, (This email address is being protected from spambots.
