Water History
:

The TB/LE Water System was originally called the Troutbeck Rise Water System and was privately owned until December, 2001, when the LCWSD assumed ownership and operations of that system. About that same time, the system was expanded to include the Lakeside Estates Subdivision, and an old Redwood water storage tank was replaced with the new 120,000 gallon steel tank. In 2006, the Spurwing Development was added to this system. We strive to maintain a high level of protection and efficiency with both water systems. Of high priority was to add water meters to all residents for two reasons: To track usage for billing purposes; and to monitor our system for leaks. Also in 2006, we added a radio read system to the meters, with the capability to detect leaks or high use situations, and to reduce meter reading time by two-thirds.

In 2009, we installed sensors in all our wells so we can monitor them on a daily basis. We also hired a Hydrologist to perform and monitor a drawdown pump test of our largest well for 72 hours. We have very valuable data that reveals a very solid performing aquifer with plenty of good clean water. We have now had ten consecutive years of monthly, bacteria free tests to back that up.

We hope you will continue to enjoy a clean glass of water on us!
