Sewer Capacity Moratorium lifted for the Douglas Flat/Vallecito Service Area
SAN ANDREAS, CA – During Calaveras County Water Districts (District) February 13, 2013 Board Meeting, the Board approved to lift the moratorium on sewer connections for the Douglas Flat/Vallecito area. “All the hard work of the District’s staff and the Douglas Flat/Vallecito community to upgrade the plant with 100% grant monies is continuing to pay off.” said Board President Dennis Dooely when asked about the moratorium lift...
The new wastewater treatment plant which was constructed with a 100% grant from the State
Water Resources Control Board has been up and operating well since November 2012. On
February 1, 2013 the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board approved a new
discharge permit for the Douglas Flat/Vallecito plant due to the recent plant upgrade. This
obtainment of this permit has allowed the District to lift the moratorium for the Douglas
Flat/Vallecito service area.
Board President Dennis Dooley also mentioned that "The effluent from this plant is high-
quality water that is usable for agricultural irrigation. CCWD will be exploring ways to get it to
potential agricultural users." Stay tuned for more information in the coming months.
Please contact the District at 209.754.3543 for additional information about sewer
connections in the Douglas Flat/Vallecito service area.
