DISTRICT WELL SITE, DEL ROSA AND FISHER Mr. & Mrs. Hal Rheuark were present to discuss a well on property they purchased from the District in 1976.

It was pointed out to them by the General Manager and District Counsel that when they purchased the property it was accomplished with a quitclaim deed, ..r which meant they purchased everything, the land, well and appurtenances. The District did retain the right to measure the well. It appeared that about three years ago the District imported fill material for a subsidence around the well casing.

GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT TASK FORCE The General Manager indicated the Groundwater Task Force had met on March 30th. He indicated that SBVMWD had proposed selling water to the State. A clarification had been made as to the amount they could sell. It appears the basic issue at this time is exporting water to Riverside. Currently the watermaster makes the determination as to the amount that can be exported. Money or water had been discussed as payment for the water. If money is given in exchange it would be kept in an account to be used whenever water had to be purchased from the State. SB 90 was discussed and it was determined it is not acceptable. The General Manager also stated that arrangements had been made with the City of San Bernardino for pumping water out of their pressure zone. The District will pump about 2500 acre feet of water into our system from the pressure zone, which the City will replace at Foothill & Sterling. This will tie into a 3 million gallon storage facility that belongs to the City. Another meeting is scheduled for April 13th. ` 4/11/83 -3- MENTONE DAM The General Manager gave an update on the Mentone Dam.
