April Billing

The sun is shining this morning, however, it is still very cold.  It is currently 36 chilly degrees at 9:30 am.  The weather forecast is calling for temperatures to rise tomorrow, but there is another chance for rain or snow coming on Saturday evening.  The boys will be out and about reading meters today and tomorrow, so let’s hope the weather holds out for them.    April’s bills will go out next week.

Remember, water bills are due by the 25th of the billing month.  If they are not paid by the 10th of the following month, a $15 late fee will be incurred.  If you are having problems paying your water bill, please call Becky at 951-659-2675 during regular business hours.  She will work with you on a solution.  Doing nothing or ignoring your bill will only lead to more problems down the line.  Communication is key!

We bill every other month on the even months.  Your water bill is for 2 months of water usage.  You may pay your bill via check, money order, cash, or with your online banking.  We accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover cards for credit card payments and these can be made in person or over the phone.

Our billing system is not “online” and we cannot do any type of check by phone or auto billing.  We do not retain credit card numbers either.  Once paid, all credit card information is shredded.  Our current management team feels this is the safest way to protect your personal information and privacy.

Be sure to check out the inserts with your April bill.  There is important information regarding our move into a Stage I Water Emergency.  There is information on what each stage entails as well as the tiered water rates for each stage.  We have also included information on our rebate program for water saving appliances as well as 50 Tips to Save Water both indoors and out.   There is lots of good information and you won’t want to miss it.

April Board Meeting

Here at the Pine Cove Water District, our monthly board meetings are always held on the second Wednesday of each month and are open to the public.

The April board meeting will be held on April 9, 2014 at 10 a.m. sharp.  The meeting takes place in the board room at the district office, located at 24917 Marion Ridge Road, right next to the fire station.  The public is always invited to attend.  If you cannot attend the meeting, the agenda is posted on the Friday before the meeting right outside the door of the district office as well as on our website, www.pcwd.org, in compliance with the Brown Act.

The minutes from previous board meetings are also posted on our website, so you can keep up with what is happening at the water district even if you are not able to attend the meetings.  We hope you will take advantage of our website and stay informed.

Still no Snow…

This morning is very overcast, so I checked the weather forecast in the hope that rain or snow was expected to arrive, but alas, I see no rain or snow in the immediate forecast.  Here is what is predicted for the next week.

Today, mostly cloudy, with a high near 53. Southeast wind 5 to 10 mph.

  • Tonight: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 41. East wind around 5 mph.
  • Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 55. East wind around 5 mph becoming west in the afternoon.
  • Saturday: Night Mostly clear, with a low around 41. West wind around 5 mph becoming north in the evening.
  • Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 56. West wind around 5 mph.
  • Sunday: Night Mostly clear, with a low around 42.
  • Monday: Sunny, with a high near 58.
  • Monday: Night Mostly clear, with a low around 44.
  • Tuesday: Sunny, with a high near 60.
  • Tuesday: Night Mostly clear, with a low around 47.
  • Wednesday: Sunny, with a high near 63.
  • Wednesday: Night Mostly clear, with a low around 48.
  • Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 60.

While this weather is certainly enjoyable and makes for easy winter living, it is not helpful in easing our drought conditions.  We are hoping that rain and snow fall in February and March will make up for the extremely dry January, but if they do not, we will be considering going back into Stage 1 Conservation.  Stage 1 is voluntary compliance.  Customers are asked to conserve, when possible, the amount of water used to that amount necessary for domestic and business purposes.  Hopefully, everyone who lives in Pine Cove is already doing these things.

Fix leaky plumbing, prevent irrigation runoff, refrain from washing down sidewalks, driveways and parking areas and avoid sprinkling unplanted areas for dust control.  Customers will be encouraged to utilize wood chips to mulch around all plants and trees in order to minimize outside watering.  An added bonus is that the wood chips you mulch with will gradually compost and feed your plants and trees and improve the soil, thereby enabling it to retain water better.

We will be monitoring the water situation very closely and will take whatever measures we deem necessary in order to continue to provide water to the customers of Pine Cove.  Getting in the habit of conserving as much water as possible will ensure that we all will have what we need down the road.  We all have our part to play and we hope we can count on you to play your part!

Wood Chips

Wood chips provided free of charge to Pine Cove Water District customers.
