Re: Application to Lake Madrone Water District for Water Service Ladies and Gentlemen: The Lake Madrone Water District (LMWD) has received an application for one (1)
domestic connection for a a ¾-inch service line to serve 21 Cedar Path, APN 062-160-028
presently owned by the Susan and Kevin Jeffers Family Trust and the Kathy Wheeler Trust. The capacity fee is not required, as the parcel owner has continuously maintained an active service connection, with an assessment already appearing on the Butte County Property Tax rolls. However, the homeowner is responsible for any connection fees, including the actual cost to the
District for physical installation, box and extension of line to the property edge. These costs will
vary from parcel-to-parcel and must be paid within thirty (30) days of installation.
As a result of volatile organic compound (VOC) contamination of the District’s water distribution grid from the 2020 North Complex Fire, LMWD has not yet received approval from the
State Water Resources Control Board - Division of Drinking Water and the Butte County
Department of Public Health to deliver potable water via the existing District water mains and service laterals. However, non-potable water delivery via District mains and laterals has been approved for construction and fire protection purposes. Additionally, LMWD has received approval to deliver potable water to structures with individually maintained potable water tanks via the
District-owned potable water trailer. Prior to initiating any potable water delivery, the homeowner
is responsible for installing and maintaining a potable water tank with all the relevant appurtenances required to reliably supply potable water to any habitable structure on this property.
Based upon and subject to compliance with these limitations and requirements, LMWD will
service this property with potable and non-potable water, provided that the aforementioned
conditions of service are met and that physical connection is made on or before one year from the date of this letter. If a delay occurs beyond one year, the District may refuse to serve or provide for changes in its terms and conditions and your Departments should contact us again before any extensions are provided beyond such date.
Very truly yours, LAKE MADRONE WATER DISTRICT By Timothy Jay Beers, Chairman
