Board member Richman replied to the E-mail the board position is that each lot had one share for one resident equivalency unit (REU). The water system only has sufficient water to handle the existing and allocated shares at buildout. Any more shares would require a new well, of sufficient capacity and water quality to be paid for by the applicant.

Water Sales
Some of you have noticed the increase in traffic of water tenders. The MMMWC has been selling water for various construction projects.
The system has four operational wells. Wells 3 and 5 are used for our water needs. Wells 1 and 4 are used only for emergency purposes due to water standards. The aquifers between wells 3 and 5 and wells 1 and 4 appear unconnected, based on water samples and drawdown tests. Pumping from wells 1 and 4 have no impact on the ground water levels at wells 3 and 5.
Based on the location of wells 1 and 4, there is only one other well in the area that appears to be on the same aquifer. That well is and continues to be off-line.
The MMMWC monitors ground water levels in its wells. Wells 3 and 5 remain within their historical levels. Wells 1 and 4 water levels have increased substantially over the last ten years and recover quickly following pumping.
Financially, the sale of water also behooves the company. Rates have remained at the same level for many years. Over the last year, we have spent approximately $100,000 in capital improvements. The sale of the water negates the need to raise rates.
In addition, by minimizing the distance the water tenders have to travel ultimately reduces the number of units necessary to provide water for these projects, thus reducing the diesel particulate emissions.
