The agenda will include the President’s Report for the 2023-2024 fiscal year, including an update on the new water main going in this summer.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of pioneer, cowboy and MWC volunteer, Fritz Thornburg. That’s him in the cowboy hat, back in 2021, yakking with others about our local geography.
Fritz left us on September 9th and joined his beloved wife, Nancy, in that great water company in the sky. Fritz was integral to the formation of our little water company. Not only was he there in the beginning but he has been there throughout, helping with trenching, locating pipes, digging holes, and just a few months ago, meeting with the engineers at West-Yost regarding our water improvement project. His knowledge is irreplaceable and his loss leaves a void in our hearts, and certainly in his family’s hearts, too.
Our condolences go out to the entire Thornburg family.
RIP Fritz and thank you for all you’ve done for our community.
The annual meeting minutes were approved by mail and the members also elected Kris Hartnett to another term on the Board, and elected Dr. Rich Harvey as the newest member of the Board. Rich has already jumped in and participated in his first meeting earlier this month.
Thank you Kris for continuing to devote so much of your time to keep our water system running. Without you things would be much more challenging, if not impossible.
And Rich, your willingness to help our community in myriad ways (this is yet another one) is so appreciated! We look forward to your continued contributions.
The minutes and financials have been posted to our Agendas, Forms, Minutes & MORE page.
As you may recall from this post, there was wood available to all members at the Pleasant Valley tank. All wood has now been moved, though, and can be found at Turtle Rock Park.

We will notify you when it is rescheduled.
Please stay safe!
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.
Our 1st meeting of the 3rd quarter of 2022 WILL NOT be held on the usual 3rd Saturday (7-16) due to the Deathride taking place that day.
Instead, the meeting will be held on Saturday, July 23rd. It will be in-person (at the Markleeville Library) and via Zoom. The meeting starts at 8:30 a.m.
Our Annual Meeting will take place on Saturday, August 6th and it will take place at the Alpine County Administration Building Board Room (99 Water St., Markleeville) in-person and via Zoom. The meeting starts at 10:00 a.m.
Agendas for both meetings, as well as previous meeting minutes, operations reports, financials, and Consumer Confidence Reports can all be found on our Important Documents page so feel free to do whatever homework you need to in advance of these meetings.
While participation of members and qualified persons is always encouraged at any meeting, IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT at the Annual Meeting where a quorum of members (approx. 40) is needed in order for elections to be held on that date. Other important business also calls for a quorum.
Attending that meeting either in-person or virtually would help us eliminate having to send a lot of materials, and ballots, via mail, and would also make the meeting more productive for everyone.
To RSVP for either meeting, email us at markleevillewatercompany@gmail.com.
