The Truckee Donner Public Utility District (District) has received your department's routing regarding
the Joerger Ranch Specific Plan Draft EIR. The Water Department has the following comments:
1) Page 5.5 states that the District operates three separate water systems. That is incorrect. The
District operates two separate water systems. The Donner Lake Water System has been
consolidated with the Truckee system.
2) Page 5.6 states "The on -site water line layouts in each Specific Plan area are shown with
dashed lines." Such on -site water lines are not indicated on Figure 5 -4.
3) The District will require the dedication of appropriate easements to encompass all District -
owned pipelines and appurtenances not located within Town of Truckee right -of -ways.
4) In addition to the above easements for pipeline facilities, the District may require the dedication
of lands for the future construction of water supply wells.
Please note that the District's Electric Department may have additional comments on this proposed
project. The Electric Department will respond in a separate letter. If you have any questions, or
require further information, please contact me at 530 -582 -3950.
Sincerely,
Neil Kaufman, P.E.
