WHEREAS, property owners in the Stonegate Subdivision have informed the District that the subdivision lacks an emergency water supply; and
WHEREAS, water including water essentially for health and safety is currently provided to the subdivision through the services of a county service area; and
WHEREAS, the property owners have or will be requesting that the county service area establish an emergency water supply for the subdivision; and
WHEREAS, the property owners
have requested that the San Benito County Water District (District) support a
proposal that would authorize the pumping of water from a well to be located in
Zone 3 and transporting same to the Stonegate Subdivision located in Zone 6 for
emergency purposes only; and
WHEREAS, if such support is provided by District, the property owners will thereafter request that the County Board of Supervisors, on behalf of CSA No. 31, authorize the emergency water project; and

only; provided, however, that CSA No. 31 shall obtain District’s approval of
its plans for construction, operation and maintenance of said project; and,
provided further, that said project shall be at no expense to District.
2. The Board of Directors hereby directs District staff to support the provision of emergency water for CSA No. 31.
