Amador County Receives $1.6 Million CDBG Grant on behalf of AWA and River Pines PUD

Amador County is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a 2014 CDBG Grant by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development.

This grant has a total amount of $1.6 million, of which $95,000 is dedicated to performing a planning study on needed improvements to the River Pines PUD water system, and $1.5 million is dedicated to improvements to the Amador Water Association’s CAWP system in Pioneer. The improvements paid for with this grant include upgrades to the Pioneer water distribution and repair or replacement of fire hydrants on the system, eliminating a potential health issue caused by low pressure when the hydrants are utilized.

Amador County Board of Supervisors Chairman Ted Novelli said “I am extremely pleased to see the efforts by so many different agencies pay off in such a tremendous way. It goes to show what we can accomplish when we bring all of our agencies together to work as a team.”

Amador County applied for the grant on behalf of AWA and River Pines, who each prepared their portion of the grant application. Terry Cox, of Cox Consulting also worked with all entities to submit the applications.

The grant documents are being finalized, and the projects will commence as soon as the associated agreements are signed.

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.
