NEVADA COUNTY
VOLUME 50
Effective Feb. 1 .
Wednesday, January 29,1975 »New NID water
Effective February 1 Nevada Irrigation
District customers will be paying higher
-water bills with the average increase to be
five per cent.
NID’s board of directors adopted the
1975. rates at their Wednesday meeting.
The new schedule has been revised from
the original proposal because, according
to Controller Bill Wells, ‘‘We thought it
best to combine as many rates as
possible’’.
Under the new schedule there are three
basic rates: 1. Raw water for agricultural
use, 2. Chlorinated water and 3. Fully
treated water.
Member James McAdams said NID is
looking for the day when there can be one
standard water rate for all customers such
as is the case with PG&E and under the
1975 rates about 50-percent of the various
categories have been consolidated.
Board President Francis Dobbas of
Placer county said NID ‘“‘tried to stay at a
net increase of five per cent to keep up
with our bills’. Manager Al Scurr noted
that the rate of inflation has gone up 14 per
cent but that new services combined with
the five per cent increase should be enough
for NID to pay their employes a promised
10 per cent salary hike and meet the rest of
their financial obligations as well:
If this turns out not to be the case the
rates approved.
can orily be adjusted for an amount equal
to the cost of living index rise.
A complete break-down of the new water
rates will be published at a later date.
In other action:
-Claims by Wayne A. & Helen E. Dahling
and one by Darwin C. Miller for damages
allegedly arising from the Cascade Siphon
break were rejected and turned over to the
insurance carrier.
«Plans to abandon the White Ditch in the
LaBarr Meadows area will proceed. The
6,083 foot ditch with 39 services will be put
on a pipeline.
-The construction. of three flow
measuring stations at Lake Wildwood has
been completed with NID requesting Boise .
Cascade officials to allow the district to
assume operation and maintenance of the
stations. :
-A contract with the State Division of
Forestry for use of Ecology Corps force for
maintenance in Auburn at a cost not to
exceed $5,000 was approved.
-A request by Thomas H. Rodes for
variance of mainline extension policy for
property off of Dry Creek Road in the
North Auburn area was taken under advisement.

It was like this, according to
Supervisor Willie Curran: The
seven member planning body
had been limping along with five
members since resignations of
Crippen and King Aguilar, who
represented district 2.
The board last week appointed
Lewis Wright. to succeed
Aguilar. Willie Curran was
having difficulty finding a

replace Cripper (former
