Hey Good People Are You Ready For "Pure Mountain Fun" ~ Bear Valley Update By Mattly Trent
Posted by: thepinetree on 11/22/2016 09:21 AM
Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! A beautiful morning on the tails of the passing weather system which left us with 6" of new snowfall for a season total of 11" and more on the way. Tonight we should see 2-4" of new snow and lingering snow showers for Wednesday as that system heads East and gives way to a beautiful crisp Sunny Thanksgiving Holiday. A return of a 2nd system on Friday will bring slightly warmer temps but snowfall is still expected. Continued unsettled weather will push into the begining of next week as the active pattern continues. Winter is not too far off and we're getting ready to share our "pure mountain fun" ethos.
Water Service Restored To Arnold After Emergency Leak Repair

Arnold, CA...Calaveras County Water District crews performed an emergency leak repair between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday November 21 on the old section of the Reach 3A water transmission pipeline, which runs through downtown Arnold and has reached the end of its useful life. Since spring 2016, the District has been working on a $5.3 million Capital Renovation and Replacement project to replace the old line, which was initially installed in 1965. Approximately 80 percent of the old pipe has been replaced, and this water leak occurred in the remaining portion of the pipeline that has yet to be upgraded. The project is expected to be complete in spring 2017, and engineers expect the new pipeline will last up to 75 years.

Arnold, CA...Yesterday marked an end of an era for the Ebbetts Pass Fire District. Battalion Chief Brian Hukkanen worked his last shift at EPFD Station One. He has retired after a 37 year career of helping our community. He started as a 15 year old cadet and has been with EPFD since 1979. After thousands of calls for fires, vehicle collisions, medical aids and more Battalion Chief Hukkanen will be moving on to a new phase in his life. Not to worry though as the Hukkanen name will still be well represented in our area as his sons Aaron and Kyle are both in uniform and working in the family business. Congratulations Brian, Thank You and you will leave large boots to fill.
The shot above is the Hukkanen family yesterday in front of EPFD Station One during his last shift.
