Water District: Update 2013 from Steve

    Steve Glazer sent out his annual bills for his Tahoe Swiss Village Utility.  It's always telling to see what 40Gals/day cost a property owner/user in the district.  This year-2014- it will run about $1218./ann.
     This includes $250./annual private fire service fee.
Improvements noted:
1. 630' of new 8" water main
2. 1 water main break(on Pine St., near 7th) ,repaired, along with 2 leaking lateral pipes.
3.  A new storage tank will be needed in Glenridge(w/telemetry capability).

Steve also made a case for conservation, noting the EPA local office is touting irrigation controllers that operate like a home thermostat to prevent waste, estimated to be as much as half of all water used by home and building owners.
    Is it time to tap the lake?  Heresy........
