Mission Springs Water District Board Special Meeting Workshop
The workshop involved a discussion regarding the CVWD ID8 consolidation project, which addresses Chromium 6 contamination in the ID8 domestic water system wells. Key points included the estimated $25 million remediation cost if treated locally versus over $40 million for connection to the main system, which could lead to an $85 monthly increase for ID8 customers. Staff reported on community meetings held in Desert Edge, Sky Valley, and India Hills concerning the consolidation. The board discussed pursuing up to $50 million in grant funding from DWR for the consolidation, which would position MSWD as the lead agency. Board members expressed concern regarding the level of buy-in from potential future MSWD customers in the affected areas. The discussion also covered CVWD's existing tiered water rate system and the potential for rate structure changes due to ongoing judicial matters. A strategic plan update was also presented, outlining seven SMART goals guiding staff operations, including customer communications, water supply diversity, financial management, and system reliability.
