Amador County – The Amador Water Agency plans a Martell Regional Reclamation Study public workshop next week at it office in Sutter Creek. AWA Supervising Engineer Erik Christeson announced the public workshop in a letter last week, sying that the AWA requested attendance of the public.

The Martell Regional Reclamation Study is being conducted by the AWA “to investigate the potential use of recycled water within Amador County and to provide a road map for the future design and construction of Regional wastewater reclamation facilities.”

Christeson said “this upcoming workshop will provide you with the opportunity to discuss the benefits and potential concerns you may have about recycled water and a regional recycled water system. The study will be developed by considering input from members of the public, business leaders and other governmental agencies.

Also last week, AWA announced approval of some new rates for its customers. On Oct. 13, the AWA board of directors “approved revising the schedule of fees for services at the Agency to adequately reflect the cost of service provided.”

AWA General Manager Gene Mancebo said the board approved “a new $1.50 charge for paying a bill by credit card, and increases in fees for service calls, service reconnection, construction water, annexation or detachment and backflow prevention were also approved.

The complete fee schedule is available on the Agency website and at the AWA office.
