Three Most Important Takeaways:
Well Metering Policy Moving Forward - The board directed staff to prepare a resolution for the well registration metering policy to be adopted at the next meeting. The policy requires all wells pumping more than 2 acre-feet annually for non-domestic purposes to install meters, with fines ranging from $120-$1,000 per day for non-compliance. Wells pumping less than 2 acre-feet per year for domestic use (de minimis wells) and inactive/abandoned wells are exempt from metering requirements.
$500 County Grant Available for Meter Installation - A county grant program offering $500 assistance for well meter installation remains available and funded. Staff will conduct outreach to inform well owners about this financial assistance opportunity once the metering policy is formally adopted, and the GSA is also considering implementing its own grant program.
