Among other things there will be an update on the Grant Funded Water System Planning and Improvement Project.
A complete agenda will be posted here prior to the meeting.
To RSVP please email us at markleevillewatercompany@gmail.com.
We hope to see you there!
January was a month to remember, certainly. We have been on well water since December and thanks to you, our members, and your conservation efforts, and additionally, due to the fact that there isn’t a lot of watering to be done since everything is covered in snow or ice, our production remains stable and consistent.
Keep up the good work and thank you!
Due to the recent storm runoff we’ve had to switch from surface water to well water.
It’s likely we’ll need to stay on well water for the entirety of this storm, and beyond, so please conserve where you can.
We appreciate your assistance!
Thank you to those of you who voted and returned those ballots!
We’re happy to tell you that Mark Schwartz and Mary Young were both re-elected to the Board. Mark and Mary are honored to continue to serve the Water Company and the community, and extend their thanks to the MWC members for their votes of confidence.
Additionally, the Annual Meeting Minutes from the October 8, 2022 Annual Meeting were approved and are now shown as such, and are available on our “Agendas, Forms, Minutes and MORE” page.
Have a great Thanksgiving holiday!

If you’d like to attend either in person or via Zoom please RSVP by emailing us at markleevillewatercompany@gmail.com.
We are now producing water and the tanks are full!
It took a bit of work to clear the mud, silt and sand from the system, due to last week’s thunderstorm activity, but that work was completed yesterday.
We do ask that members refrain from outdoor watering this week in order to give the entire system time to equalize.
Anyone in the downtown area that needs to hose down or power wash their residence or business, however, is free to do so.
Thank you for your conservation efforts over this past week, and for your continued efforts over the next few days.
Outdoor watering can resume Monday, August 15th.
Since travel is difficult and we all have more important things to do right now, and likely for the next several days, the Annual Meeting scheduled for this Saturday, August 6th, IS CANCELED.
We will notify you when it is rescheduled.
Please stay safe!
Due to yesterday’s thunderstorms, and the over two (2) inches of rain that we received in about an hour, we’ve had to switch over to wells completely.
Since this substantially lowers the amount of water available, our Operator, Buck McLelland, is requiring all members to stop outside watering until further notice.
All other Water Use Rules and Guidelines, posted July 23, 2022, remain in effect.
Those guidelines, by the way, can be viewed on, and downloaded from, our Important Documents page.
As many of you know, the Forest Service cut down hazard trees near the Water Company’s Pleasant Valley tank starting in the fall of 2021. The work was completed just last month.
The bucked up wood is available for Water Company Members to take!
Please DO NOT cut wood at the tank site and be careful working and driving at the tank site.
A cutting permit is required by the Forest Service.
You can get those permits at the following locations:
By the way, the slash piles will be chipped by the Forest Service when a chipper becomes available.
As a reminder…
Our Annual Meeting is this Saturday, August 6th, and we’d welcome any Member’s attendance. Please see this post for more information.
Since this Annual Meeting takes place in the same month as our normally held “Special Call” meeting, which WAS to take place on August 20th, we’ve canceled that “Special Call” meeting.
Unfortunately the meeting room at the Markleeville Library WILL NOT be available tomorrow.
For those of you who wish to attend in person, the meeting will instead be held at President Mary Young’s home at 150 Sawmill Road, Markleeville, starting at 8:30 a.m.
There will still be a Zoom option for those that wish to attend virtually.
Please RSVP for either option by emailing us at markleevillewatercompany@gmail.com.
