The Board authorized a WaterSMART grant application to the Bureau of Reclamation for the Timber Trails tank and pump station project — a ~$3.1 million effort to replace CCWD's last in-service redwood water tank with a 120,000-gallon steel tank (double the current usable capacity). The current tank leaks badly, lacks standby power and SCADA controls, sits in a high fire zone on National Forest land, and cannot refill quickly in a wildfire. This is a 50/50 cost-share grant (max $1.5M federal); CCWD was a close runner-up in 2024 and has addressed prior scoring weaknesses. Approved 4-0 (Robertson absent).
