VIII. Discussion Items

A. Status Report on Beaumont Basin Water Level Monitoring Program
through May 29, 2018

Recommendation: No recommendation.

Engineer Hannibal Blandon advised that a new temporary probe
has been installed at Well 29. At Oak Valley #5 a communications
cable is not working, but water levels have been stable within 6
feet. The Noble Creek observation wells have seen a significant
rise over the last year and a half. On the south side, the Summit
Cemetery varies due to pumping at a nearby well. The Sun lakes
well is fairly flat. On the east, Banning well 8 had lost the probe.
It will be pulled and a new probe will be installed this summer.
Well 15 has a flat levels, but Well 9 shows some fluctuating due
to nearby pumping. Two wells centrally located show significant
variation due to pumping. Potential for additional monitoring wells
is being pursued on a property owned by the Catholic Diocese,
and at YVWD Lift Station #2.

B. Consideration of the Watermaster Budget for Fiscal Year 2018-19
Recommendation: That the Watermaster Committee approve the
budget for Fiscal Year 2018-019 and authorize the preparation of
an Independent Accountant’s Financial Report for Fiscal Year
2017-18.
