1. Golden Mussel Infestation Treatment Plan Coming Soon
The district is facing a critical invasive species threat from golden mussels detected in imported water supplies from the Cross Valley Canal. Staff has been collaborating with multiple agencies and researching treatment options, with copper-based products appearing most effective. A comprehensive treatment program estimated at approximately $1 million is being developed for implementation in mid-February to March, targeting initial cleanout treatment at 1 part per million copper for 28 days throughout the district's pump stations. The board may need to call a special meeting before the next regular meeting to approve the treatment contract, as this is an urgent matter requiring immediate action.
