Recently CCWD received $2.1 million in State and Federal funds to improve safety and reliability for Calaveras Communities.
According to Director Dennis Dooley the federal funds that are to be received from the Federal Government have been earmarked "primarily for
West Point and Vallecito systems. We also are to receive some grants
for replacement of the redwood tanks in the Ebbetts Pass area based on concerns about the loss
of these tanks in a forest fire." Currently Copperopolis will not see any upgrades or improvements from the 2 million in federal funding.
Of the 2 million in cost repairs, CCWD is required to pay for 150K in matching funds which will come out of Capital Improvement funds specifically designated for each system receiving repairs.
