Chief Engineer Bud Fritzsche told the board that NID has been unable to get a firm proposal from the developers who at one tirne planned a 300 unit project, then scaled it down to 60 units and now plan on only 21. . “They have simply not considered NID in_ their proposal,” Fritzsche said. He was worried that the Lone Star Ditch, which would supply water to the. area, would have to be enlarged to accommodate the 21 units and then a year or so later the developer might get ambitious and increase his development so that the ditchwould have to be enlarged again. The development chief, Larry Curtola, has asked that NID operate a water treatment plant currently under construction but an NID spokesman said the district has refused because the plant is being built ‘‘without building permits.” ‘‘We should have plans for the entire project like for Alta Sierra, Lake of the Pines and Lake Wildwood,’’ Fritzsche said. He added that there is a possibility the water operation at Auburn Valley could be run by NID but paid for by the special county service area to insure that NID isn’t hit with Camptonville News CAMPTONVILLE, Jan. 22 — F.

The California Public Utilities Commission has concluded that the “overall fuel supply situation for California is not sufficient to mect foresecable generating needs.” It therefore prohibited certain uses of electric energy and ordered PG&E and other electric utilities in the state to inform customers—business and industry as well as homes —of the urgent necessity to “devote full efforts to achieving a minimum 15% reduction in their normal use of electricity.” This is the second emergency measure the Commission has taken to deal with the energy crisis brought on by the shortage of oil to fuel electric generating plants.
