President’s Comments
President Bill Archibald thanked Board member/ Operations Manager David Richman for all the hard work that he has put into the Emergency Generator Project for well 3.
Minutes
Last year’s minutes were not available at this time and were not approved.
Financial Status
As of September 31, 2020, the replacement fund had $541,387.00 in it and the operation fund had $151,067.00.
There will be an increase in lab testing fees for water quality. Due to a mistake made by the lab well 3 will need to be tested three times this year in order to obtain a county waiver for water quality.
Water System Status
All wells and telemetry are up and operational
There were two new water meter hook-ups this year.
Well levels remained the same
Currently David Richman is working on completion of the installation of the emergency generator approved last year. A 50 Kw propane generator and propane tank to support it has been purchased and is being installed, a long-complicated process. This generator should be in service by mid-November for use during power outages. So far about $40,000.00 of the budgeted $60,000.00 has been spent.
System Maintenance
Valves exercised and debris removed. One valve may need replacement next spring.
Shareholder Questions
A shareholder asked if there could be an increase in the allotted water usage amount and could the rates be reduced. There was a discussion, and the shareholder was informed that water system was designed for 160,000 gallons of water per user. The fees were designed to prevent over usage of water. According to Supervisor Stump the State will be re- assessing water usage and imposing more water restrictions.
Old Business
President Archibald wanted to remind everyone about P.O.I.S.O.N(power outage irrigation policy). In the event of a planned or accidental power outage, outside irrigation will be suspended until an end of the event. MMMWC will try to e-mail residents of the outage. If outside watering continues after the outage the MMMWC will turn off water to the residence. There will be a $300.00 fee to turn the water back on. This measure is to ensure that the water stored in the system is not depleted.
New Business
The board discussed individual metering of the Three Condo complexes that MMMWC serves, this would require the instillation of about 28 meters. The state is requiring that each residence have an individual water meter by 2025. Currently Moutain Meadows and Pinon Springs only have a meter for irrigation water use.
Blair Hafner made a motion that the MMMWC provide and install a meter to each Condo owner starting next year (2021).
The motion was seconded by Hal Cady.
The motion passed unanimously.
Election of Officers
A quorum was not present. The board will remain the same.
Meeting Adjournment
President Bill Archibald adjourned the meeting at 9:39AM- October 14, 2020

SCE PUBLIC SAFETY POWER SHUTOFFS
When there is a high risk of wildfires, SCE may temporarily shutoff your power. The Water Company will then institute its P.O.I.S.O.N. policy, which can be found in the "news" section, terminating all outside irrigation during the shutoff.
