Upcoming Regular Board Meeting

Allocation Program Update
The New Allocation Program had been delayed in 2020 due to unanticipated COVID-19 related vendor delays in reconfiguring the District billing system’s allocation templates. The District billing system configuration has been completed and is on the final step of setting up the new bill printing templates with the vendor. MOWD anticipates implementing the new allocation program in the next bill cycle, by end of 2021.
The District Office will be CLOSED Friday, December 24 – Monday, December 27, 2021 & Monday, January 3, 2022.
CA Executive Order Prohibiting Water Shut-off for Non-Payment has been extended to December, 31, 2021.
This Executive Order originally issued March 2020 prohibited shutting off water service for non-payment. The CA Governor has extended the moratorium via SB 155, through December 31, 2021. If you have a delinquent water bill over 2 months old and over $200, please contact the District Office to set up a payment arrangement (up to 12 installments) to avoid water shut-off.

Casitas Connection turned on July 27, 2021
To help meet current customer water demand, MOWD had to begin purchasing water. Customers may experience slightly lower than normal water pressure during this time. Customers may also notice a slight difference in color and taste between the MOWD and Casitas Water. MOWD uses chlorine for disinfection, while Casitas MWD uses chloramines for disinfection.

PLEASE CONSERVE!
Due to increased water demands, the District had to turn on its connection to Casitas Municipal Water District (9/29/2020) to supplement the groundwater supply pumped from our wells.
We are still in a Stage 3 Drought, we are noticing increased water consumption during the daytime hours.
Reminder to not irrigate between 10 am – 6 pm.
