Also at the city council meeting, a public hearing was conducted regarding eminent domain actions for the Evitt access agreement. The city of Plymouth and the Amador Water Agency have agreed to build a water pipeline to bring safe treated water from the Tanner Reservoir to the city. The pipeline will be owned and operated by the Amador Water Agency. Once the pipeline is installed, the city will be able to meet its current water demands and provide water for the projected growth in local population. However, Plymouth must acquire an eminent domain easement outlining the Evitt Property for the shortest, fastest, access route in which to build a pipeline. So far, the Evitt property is the only land deemed safe for the current project. Mayor Jon Colburn has been publicly opposed to the project. The resolution passed, though Mayor Colburn stated that his approval of the resolution did not change his stance on the project itself.
