Amador County – The Amador Water Agency outreach committee is scheduled to meet Friday with the mayor and city manager of Plymouth to discuss water issues.

AWA Director Art Toy of District 5 and Director Robert Manassero of District 4 will meet with Interim City Manager Jeff Gardner and Mayor Greg Baldwin at 9 a.m. Friday at the AWA office on Ridge Road in Sutter Creek, as part of the AWA Plymouth Outreach Committee.

Discussions could include a status of developer projects in Plymouth, and possible water system impacts.

The committee could also discuss the finalized costs for the Plymouth pipeline project, built jointly by the city and the AWA, with cost sharing based on estimates, which could be updated with the studies.

The pipeline was completed in 2009 and officially activated early last year. The financial plan is expected to lower Plymouth’s water costs, because the amount of water the city uses was estimated to be higher than it actually uses.

Gardner said in January that the city could get a 10-15 percent reduction in its share of costs, and the city’s debt service of about $200,000 annually could be reduced. Plymouth’s net share of costs dropped to about 60 percent, from about 65 percent.

The AWA Plymouth Outreach Committee’s agenda also includes discussion of the Tanner water treatment plant’s facility study, and a “regional approach to water reuse.

Also on the agenda, the committee could discuss the Amador Water System financial plan, as well as water rights.
