AUBURN,
Calif. - The Placer County Water Agency (PCWA) Board of Directors
approved a response to two Placer County Grand Jury reports at their meeting on
September 3.
Findings and recommendations of
the Grand Jury addressed the reallocation of Agency reserves to expand service
to underserved areas of the County, the formation and utilization of advisory
councils, and improvements to PCWA's website.
Reallocation of Agency reserves
to expand service to underserved areas
PCWA stated it is evaluating
water service to underserved areas through the development of its Countywide
Master Plan, which the Agency expects to complete in 2016.
"I'm happy to say that the
direction and discussions of the PCWA board are consistent with the concepts
presented by the Grand Jury," PCWA General Manager, Einar Maisch said.
"Prior to the Grand Jury report we began the process of developing a new
Master Plan. Identifying unmet water needs within the county and quantifying a
reasonable reallocation of funds from current reserves to a Financial
Assistance Program are being addressed as part of that plan."
Formation and utilization of
advisory councils
The Board does not believe
there are unmet needs that require the formation of a PCWA advisory council at
this time. The Board stated that a combination of the Agency's public outreach,
regular public board meetings, and ongoing community involvement informs
customers and the community on important Agency matters.
Improvements to the PCWA
website
PCWA implemented Grand Jury
recommendations for improvement to the Agency's website. Additionally, it
created a Transparency Information page to make information of interest to the
public easily accessible. For its efforts, PCWA received the District
Transparency Certificate of Excellence from the Special District Leadership
Foundation in July.
