AUBURN, Calif. - The Placer County Water Agency (PCWA) Board of Directors unanimously approved a water supply agreement between PCWA and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E)

The new agreement will ensure continued reliable water delivery to the people of western Placer County for the next 30 years.

"This agreement provides a strong foundation for moving forward and working in partnership with PG&E," Primo Santini, Chairman of the PCWA Board of Directors said.

Under the new water supply agreement:

• The price of water is unchanged at $40 per acre-foot in 2015 and will be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index thereafter.
• There are no longer any practical restrictions on the place of use for PG&E water within western Placer County.
• PCWA retains the right to construct two new points of delivery, one for the Ophir Water Treatment Plant and one to provide emergency service to Meadow Vista.
• PCWA will have the right to construct a new permanent pump station at Rock Creek reservoir.
• PCWA will have the right to use PG&E's South Canal when needed during outages. However, PCWA is obligated to construct new raw or treated water capacity between Ophir and the Foothill-Sunset system within 7 to 10 years to eliminate reliance on the South Canal during routine outages.
