Sutter Creek – The Amador Water Agency has set a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Plymouth water pipeline for Monday morning, and has also called a special meeting for Thursday afternoon to continue items left over from last week’s regular board meeting. Board President Terence Moore called the special meeting for 3 p.m. Thursday at the AWA office on Ridge Road, because the meeting was not continued. The agenda Thursday includes reports from committees, including Upper Mokelumne River Watershed Authority, Mountain Counties, engineering, public relations, rates & rules and the California Rural Water Association. The board will also get reports from the Amador County Joint Water Committee and the General Manager’s monthly report. Board members may also report on various activities or meetings “that they have been involved in within their respective districts.” Reports will be for discussion only, and anything “requiring action will be placed on an upcoming agenda for consideration.” Closed session also may be called for a conference with labor negotiators. The board last week hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on the Gayla Manor wastewater treatment system upgrade. The board had about 6 special meetings scheduled over 2 weeks that began Monday with a La Mel Heights rate hearing. They will also hold a rate hearing at 6 p.m. Thursday for the Wastewater Improvement District Number 1, which includes the systems at Eagle’s Nest, Surrey Junction, Wildwood Estates, Gayla Manor, Viewpoint, Fairway Pines, Mace Meadow, Jackson Pines, Pine Grove and Tiger Creek Estates. The rate hearing is at the AWA office on Ridge Road. The AWA board also has scheduled a special meeting starting 9 a.m. Friday at Thomi’s Café & Bakery, at 627 South Highway 49 in Jackson. The Thomi’s meeting is a “Strategic Planning” session, which is open to the public. The meeting in the past has been an all-day affair. The AWA board continues its special meetings with another at 10:30 a.m. Monday at the Plymouth water treatment plant, for a dedication of the AWA-Plymouth potable water pipeline. The agency will host the “Plymouth Pipeline Project Valve Turning and Dedication” ceremony, which will kick off with comments from AWA Board President Terry Moore, representative of District 5, including Plymouth. The AWA announced that “distinguished guests” will also make comments. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
