1. Delinquent Utility Accounts Surging — Nearly $1 Million Placed on County Tax Rolls The Board approved a resolution placing 606 delinquent accounts (totaling ~$966,080) on the Calaveras County property tax rolls for collection. This is a 9% increase in accounts and a 22% increase in dollar amount over last year. Staff said delinquencies increased sharply during the COVID-era moratorium on water shutoffs and noted CCWD did not reinstate shutoffs afterward. The Board discussed whether to bring back water lock-offs for chronic non-payers, expand payment plan options, and increase customer outreach. No policy changes were adopted at this meeting; staff said any proposed changes would be brought back to the Board at a future meeting.
