Sure seems strange that with such detailed reports about how the LDPCSD was going to expand the district water service area by thousands of acres, there was NOT ONE WORD ABOUT THE MERCED RIVER WATER restrictions in Water License 11395 they had known about for years.
No mention of the fact that an expensive GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION PROGRAM was also required to replace every unit of MERCED RIVER WATER that leaves the MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT PLACE OF USE (MIDPOU) with expensive groundwater wells.
Seems they also side-stepped the little issue of ARSENIC and OTHER CONTAMINANT REMOVAL from local groundwater which must be monitored and reported to the state to ensure healthy drinking water and increases treatment costs.
Wasn’t anyone curious as to why
the LAFCO OFFICIAL DISTRICT SERVICE AREA MAP CREATED IN 1980 AT DISTRICT FORMATION from an 11 page detailed
METES & BOUNDS ENGINEERED SURVEY
JUST HAPPENED TO DISAPPEAR from multiple locations?
Sorry. None of this makes sense except for one possibility .. –
The LAKE DON PEDRO CSD was specifically created with the intent of quietly defrauding every property owner within that residential subdivision by forcing them to quietly and unwittingly subsidize a SPECIAL BENEFIT WATER SERVICE FOR DEVELOPERS OUTSIDE THE MIDPOU.
This SPECIAL BENEFIT Outside MIDPOU water service could only be ACCOMPLISHED WITH AN EXPENSIVE GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION PROGRAM created and maintained with public funds as a FINANCIAL BENEFIT and development incentive for PRIVATE LAND DEVELOPERS who were legally prohibited from receiving MERCED RIVER WATER.
Pretty simple actually
THEY DID NOT WANT OUR SUBDIVISION LAND WITH MERCED RIVER WATER
THEY WANTED OUR SUBDIVISION MERCED RIVER WATER ON THEIR LAND.
ANYWAY, here’s some interesting reading although it sure doesn’t seem like county officials gave a “rat’s asset” about that 99% MAJORITY of MERCED RIVER WATER ENTITLED CUSTOMERS in the subdivision, does it?
Residential citizen/customers were betrayed by local government in the name of third party land developers
pursuing greater profit margins with cheap quality water.
screwed the <MR WECs> once again
My best to you and yours, Lew
