Guatay MBC Consolidation Feasibility Factsheet Documents

On May 21, 2003, on motion of Supervisor Jacob, and seconded by Supervisor Horn, the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors unanimously directed the Chief Administrative Officer to conduct a comprehensive groundwater study for the Pine Valley area. This directive was part of confirmation of direction for staff’s activities being conducted on the General Plan 2020 (now known as the General Plan Update). This groundwater study has been prepared to satisfy that request. The report evaluates the impacts of existing and proposed land uses on groundwater resources within Pine Valley, a groundwater dependent unincorporated community of San Diego County (Figure 1).

Outreach materials, as well as the recent Cumulative Groundwater Study documents are now available for your review. Please click the following link: https://pinevalleywater.org/guatay-mbc-consolidation-feasibility-factsheet/

New Manager Appointed

In February 2016, Mr. Trevor Brown was appointed as the new Manager of the Company. Trevor started his employment with the Company in 2006 and currently holds certifications as: Grade 2 Treatment Operator, Grade 3 Distribution Operator, and as a Cross Connection Specialist. In 2015 he also received certification in Utility Management. Trevor was appointed to this position as part of the transition plan that began in October 2014 due to the scheduled retirement of the Company’s long time manager, Flip Boerman.

Rough Acres Water Sale Cancelled

As the water company indicated in early 2015, the planned sale of water to Rough Acres Water Company was cancelled due to the decision of Soitec to not pursue their solar project. In February 2016, Rough Acres also notified PVMWC of their decision to cancel the mutual aid agreement with Pine Valley due to changing water needs.

Excess Water Sales

Over the past two years the Company has sold water for Cal-Trans, USFS, and County of San Diego construction projects. Because each one of these projects related directly to public safety the Company felt it was in the best interest of its customers to take the opportunity to participate in these projects. As a result the Company also benefited in thousands of dollars of additional revenue that assisted in the stabilization of water rates. In addition, the Company has also sold water to neighboring water agencies with prior State approval. This has helped our neighbors while at the same time assisting the Company financially. These water sales are the direct result of the Company’s foresight to construct water production facilities that are capable of exceeding the use demands of its full time customers. The Company continues to seek the opportunity to supplement its income through these type of business ventures and appreciates the understanding its customers that these opportunities bring benefit to them the ratepayers.

PVR Improvements

The Company recently completed improvement work for the water system that supplies the Pine Valley Rancheros Subdivision. Phase 1 of the work included the replacement of curb stop control valves at each meter as well as customer gate valves and meters where needed. In addition each meter box was replaced and the 8″ main line valves on Rocky Pass were replaced. After the replacement work was completed, each meter box, valve cap, and hydrant was repainted. Phase II included the rebuild of the PVR pump station’s #2 pump motor. Phase II concluded with the refurbish of the underground pump station’s interior piping. Phase III addressed the draining, inspection, and minor repairs to the interior coating of the 1/2 million gallon thank that feeds the subdivisions. The project concluded with the cleaning, disinfection, refilling and return of the tank to full service. The work conducted for the 3 phases of this project was completely paid for with funds collected as part of the Repair and Replacement Charge that is collected through our bi-monthly billing. No debt was incurred as a result.
