A discussion was held relative to protection of the North Fork ditch
via an easement, as development takes place in the area through which
the North Fork ditch is located and the area which it traverses. A
20 foot easement was recommended, which would include the ditch itself
and an area next to the ditch for maintenance purposes. ? It was suggested
the District require this easement as a provision for providing water
l~service to the area. Larry Rowe, Engineer for the East San Bernardino
County Water District is proceeding with arrangements for providing a
description for the North Fork Ditch. Mr. Farrell would then proceed
as outlined in his letter re recording of the description and easement
information.
It was noted that Stephen and Freda White had signed a letter relative to
Tract 10149-1 and its effect on the North Fork - Bear Valley irrigation
canal. The letter stated the requirements of the North Fork Water Company
relative to the realingment of the North Fork ditch and replacement of such
with a 36 inch R.C.P. pipe. The letter had been executed and dated by the
Whites. The letter will now be duly recorded. The map will also be re-
corded once it is corrected.
It was determined that the water main in front of J. Seat's home on
Highland Avenue has not been completed at this time, the joints still
have to be sealed after the line can be dried out. Information only.
A stipulation and resolution submitted by Attorney Denslow Green for
execution relative to a pending action in condemnation between East San
San Bernardino County Water District and the North Fork Water Company~
