A severe snowstorm hit the upper-county areas (Arnold, Ebbetts Pass, West Point) causing widespread tree damage, power outages, and road closures. CCWD crews kept nearly all customers in water service despite extreme conditions, though ~19 homes in Lakemont Pines lost service for about a week due to inaccessible main breaks — a first in at least seven years. General Manager Michael Minkler noted NCPA assisted with a Snowcat to refuel a critical generator at Sawmill Tank, and the district is coordinating with the county on future emergency equipment needs. A full after-action report from Operations is planned for an upcoming board meeting.
