Annual Shareholder’s Meeting
Mountain Meadows Mutual Water Company
October 14, 2026President David Richman called the meeting to order at 9:04AM.
Board Members Present are David Richman, Blair Hafner, Ryan Dore, Tim Gallagher and Hal Cady.
Operations and administrative personnel present are Bob Lavagnino, Trisha Coto, Mike Lesiak and Natalie Riffel.
Shareholders present are Chris Tramonte, Fred Stump, Russel Villa and Jane Grosblatt.David introduced the board and MMMWC personnel to the Members present.
A motion was made by Blair to approve last year’s minutes, the motion was seconded by Tim and approved unanimously by the board.
A motion was made by Blair to approve the last Board Meeting minutes. Motion was seconded by Tim and unanimously approved by the board.
The MMMWC currently has approximately $1.2 million in its reserve account. Several shareholders are delinquent in their fees and have been notified by email.
Several high-cost system improvement projects are currently underway . The pressure reduction vault is in the process of being replaced and should be completed shortly. The solar panels, scada and batteries will be moved from the top of the water tanks to a concrete pad located by the water tanks. The solar and battery system was very hard to service at their present location on top of the water tanks, especially during the winter.
The telemetry system programming requires an upgrade following several issues over the past year.
Water Tank Two was inspected and cleaned. After inspection several maintenance recommendations were made. The interior ladder in Tank Two’s top three rungs need to be re-epoxied (that task has been completed). Also, the exterior of both water tanks need to be painted. That project is out for bid and hopefully completed by the end of next year.
Discussed installing a new fire hydrant to drain the distribution system near the well 3 site.
Several Edison power outages, including PSPS, planned and unplanned outages, and a lightning strike have blown fuses and caused telemetry failures. The telemetry system remained off-line after several of these events, with David and Sierra Controls working together to identify the problem and restore the telemetry system after each occurence.
The Board and property owners present discussed raising the monthly water rates. Due to the hiring of two new personnel for Administration and Operation duties, increasing utility rates and increased costs and spending on system improvements and maintenance. The board felt that a rate increase was necessary to maintain the current funding. David proposed a 15% rate and standby increase and a 20% hook up fee increase . This item will be further discussed at the November 17th Board meeting, with action possibly taken then.
The status of cross-connection certifications was discussed. Of 124 connections, 37 have been certified, and several shareholders have requested exemptions. Yearly backflow system certification is required by state law, failure to comply could result in a notification letter and termination of water service for noncompliant shareholders. Existing backflow devices requiring certification should have been completed by September 1, 2026, and new backflow systems need to be installed by June of 2027. For more information see the backflow prevention compliance dated April 9, 2026, in the news section on the mountain meadows web site, www.mountainmeadowswater.com .
A motion was made by Tim to accept Ryan’s backflow compliance status report dated September 30, 2026 . The motion was seconded by Blair and passed unanimously by the Board.
During open discussion, a shareholder asked about the transition of responsibilities from David to the board and employees. David and the employees reported that the transition was proceeding smoothly. Several outstanding issues will be addressed at the next board meeting.
The Board informed the shareholder of the new call center. The call center’s phone number is (760)935-4847 with three extensions. Extension 1 is for Administration, extension 2 is for Operations and extension 3 is for reporting emergencies.
The final document for a lot line adjustment in the area by wells 1,2 and 4 was approved by the board. Also, the 10-year free water agreement between the MMMWC and David Richman was signed by the board.
A property owner asked MMMWC to waive a $4,000 excess water-use charge caused by an irrigation leak while the owners were away. The board discussed the request and will further consider it at its next meeting.
David presented informational proposal he had received to switch meter readers to a cellular connection for automatic, round-the-clock water-use readings. The board decided against the upgrade at this time, due to the current expense levels.
Next board meeting will be on Tuesday November the 17th at 6PM.
The motion was made to adjourn the meeting by Tim and seconded by Blair. The motion was approved unanimously at 10:35AM.

MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MUTUAL WATER COMPANY
Backflow Prevention Compliance Status ReportPrepared for Board of Directors Meeting | Status as of September 30, 2026
Executive Summary
Purpose. This report provides the Board with the current status of Mountain Meadows Mutual Water Company (MMMWC) backflow-prevention compliance, summarizes the current California cross-connection-control framework, and identifies each account as Compliant, Outstanding, or Standby based on the Board-maintained spreadsheet.
Current status. The running spreadsheet contains 160 accounts. For compliance tracking, 124 accounts are treated as active and therefore included in the population requiring backflow compliance. Of those active accounts, 37 are currently recorded as compliant and 87 are outstanding, for a recorded compliance rate of 29.8%. The remaining 36 accounts are listed as Standby and are shown in the account table but are not included in the active-account compliance totals.
Compliance coding. An entry of “Y” in the spreadsheet indicates installation and certification of testing (33 active accounts). An entry of “NA” indicates the member submitted proof that there is no irrigation system or that the irrigation system has been disabled and capped off (4 active accounts); for purposes of this report, those accounts are considered compliant. The running spreadsheet also retains the date of compliance for each applicable address, although individual dates are intentionally omitted from this Board report.

Properties requiring installation June 1, 2027
California Legal and Regulatory Framework
Current framework. California’s former cross-connection-control regulations in Title 17, California Code of Regulations, sections 7583-7586 and 7601-7605, were repealed and replaced by the State Water Resources Control Board’s Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH). The CCCPH became effective July 1, 2024 and was amended April 21, 2026. It applies to California public water systems and establishes enforceable cross-connection-control standards.
California Health & Safety Code § 116407. Provides statutory authority for State Water Board standards governing backflow protection and cross-connection control, implemented through the CCCPH.
California Health & Safety Code § 116555.5. Provides additional statutory authority for enforceable standards governing backflow protection and cross-connection control through the CCCPH.
CCCPH § 3.2.1 - Hazard Assessments. Requires community water systems to conduct hazard assessments of user premises and determine whether a high hazard, low hazard, or no hazard exists and whether existing backflow protection is adequate.
CCCPH § 3.2.2 - Backflow Protection. Requires protection commensurate with identified hazards and requires the public water system to ensure required backflow protection is properly installed and maintained.
CCCPH § 3.3.3 - Field Testing. Establishes field-testing and inspection requirements for backflow prevention assemblies, including annual testing and testing following specified events, using appropriately certified testers.
CCCPH § 3.5.1 - Recordkeeping. Requires the public water system to maintain cross-connection-control records, including hazard assessments, assembly information, and testing records.
Tester certification. During the July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 transition period, testers used for CCCPH compliance must be certified by a certification organization recognized by the State Water Board. Beginning July 1, 2027, the applicable accredited-certifying-organization standard takes effect.
Board-level implication. The State framework is hazard-based. MMMWC should maintain documentation supporting its hazard assessments, required protection, testing, and records. The September 1, 2026 and June 1, 2027 dates above are MMMWC program deadlines and should be administered consistently with the Company’s Cross-Connection Control Plan and the CCCPH.

Recommended Board Follow-Up
• Continue member follow-up for accounts shown as Outstanding and separately track properties subject to the June 1, 2027 installation deadline.
• Maintain the running compliance spreadsheet as the Board’s administrative tracker, including each applicable compliance date and the supporting certification or proof associated with the account.
• For accounts recorded as Compliant through installation/testing, retain the assembly and testing documentation required by the CCCPH, including tester certification information and annual retest tracking.
• For accounts recorded as Compliant based on “NA,” retain the member-provided proof supporting the absence of an irrigation system or confirmation that the irrigation system has been disabled and capped off, together with any hazard-assessment documentation required by MMMWC’s program.
• Confirm that testers used for CCCPH compliance meet the State Water Board certification requirements applicable during the current transition period.
• Ensure MMMWC’s Cross-Connection Control Plan, forms, website, and member communications continue to reference the current CCCPH rather than the repealed Title 17 cross-connection-control sections.
• Use the account-level table in this report and the running spreadsheet to monitor progress and prepare future Board compliance updates.
