IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
Este informe contiene información muy importante sobre su agua potable.
Tradúzcalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien.Mountain Meadows Mutual Water Company may exceed the levels of uranium above the Drinking Water Standard
It has been brought to our attention that the recent quarterly samples taken from two of our source wells are above the state drinking water standard for uranium. The Mono County Health Department is not assured that the treatment process we currently implement is adequate to reduce uranium in the water to levels below the State and Federal standards. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what we are doing to address this situation.
We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants as required by the County and State Regulations.
We are in the process of considering options available to us, including treatment of the water in the system.
We are also in the process of attempting to secure additional water sources.
What should I do?
• This is not an immediate risk. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately and advised to drink ONLY bottled water. However, some people who drink water containing uranium in excess of the MCL over many years may have kidney problems or an increased risk of getting cancer.
• If you have other health issues concerning the consumption of this water, you may wish to consult your doctor.
What is being done?
The Board is working with the Mono County Health Department to achieve compliance with County and State Requirements. We are currently pursuing four alternative well sites along with uranium treatment/removal. We will update the members of the water company each quarter as to our progress.
For more information, please contact Bill Archibald at 935.4991 or David Richman at 934.4263 or e-mailing board@mountainmeadowswater.com.
This notice is being sent to you by The Mountain Meadows Mutual Water Company.

COLLECTION POLICY
The Water Company has adopted a new collection policy, which is listed below.
Water assessments are due on the first day of each quarter and become delinquent if payment in full is not received in the Water Co.’s Post Office Box by the 30th day in the first month of each quarter.
For those users who are billed based on actual consumption, a monthly billing statement will be mailed to each member. Payment in full is due within 30 days of mailing. A monthly statement for usage is delinquent if not paid in full within 30 days of the mailing date..
If any amount due, whether quarterly assessment or monthly billing statement, shall become delinquent as described above, a late charge of $20 for the first delinquent ownership share or interest, plus $2 for each additional ownership share or interest held by the delinquent owner, will be assessed. If a shareholder is delinquent for more than 30 days (60 days from the original due date) a 10-day warning letter will be sent. If payment in full is not received within 10 days form the date of the letter, then the account will be referred for collection, which action shall include, at the Company’s sole discretion, legal action, imposition of a lien, cancellation of certificate, and/or shutoff of services.
Imposition of Lien. In addition to any and all rights the company may have to enforce payment of its assessments, including periodic bills for water and water service, the Company, as an additional remedy to enforce payment of assessments, may record and enforce a lien upon the property of the delinquent member as provided for herein.
For any assessment, including any quarterly assessment or monthly bill for actual usage, which is 30 days delinquent (60 days from the original due date), the Company in its 10-day warning letter may notify the owner of such delinquency, including the amount of the delinquency and that the Board will levy a lien against the property of the owner in the amount of the delinquent assessment plus any late charges and costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees plus interest at the legal rate. Said notice shall be mailed to the owner certified mail and regular mail. The notice shall further advise that, 10 days after the date of mailing, the Board may record a lien in the above-described amount against the property of the owner, which lien may be enforced pursuant to California law including non-judicial foreclosure.
Shutoff of service. In addition to the foregoing remedies, for any account which is 30 days delinquent (60 days from original due date), a letter may be sent informing the user that they will have 10 days to pay their bill or face suspension of service. If not paid within 10 days, a notice may be posted on the house announcing suspension of service within 48 hours. This posting can occur only on a Monday or Tuesday, with actual suspension of service occurring on Friday of the same week. If service is terminated, it will be reinstated only after the account is fully paid, including all late charges, costs of collection, attorneys fees, plus expenses and costs incurred in shutoff and reinstatement of service in the amount of costs actually incurred, plus a reinstatement fee in the amount of $100.00.
Cancellation of and attachment to Certificate. In addition to the foregoing remedies, if any account is 30 days or more delinquent (60 days or more from original due date), the Company may notify the shareholder of its intent to declare forfeiture of the certificate of ownership of the Company’s membership share, pursuant to subparagraph (b) above and the procedures described therein. In addition, in the event there remains any amount due and owing, for assessments, usage, collection costs, attorneys fees or any other costs, said amount shall attach to the certificate as a lien thereon and shall become due and payable upon any transfer of said certificate.
The Company may utilize each and any collection and enforcement procedure described herein at its sole discretion. The Company’s decision to employ one procedure rather than another shall not constitute a waiver of its right to use any of the other procedures. Moreover, the Company’s decision to afford additional time for purposes of collection and enforcement shall not constitute a waiver of any of the time requirements and deadlines provided for herein.
