Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Lake County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Cross-connection control ordinances
The county was scheduled to hold two public hearings on draft ordinances requiring backflow and cross-connection protections for public water systems, including Kelseyville Waterworks District No. 3. The rules are meant to keep contaminants from flowing back into drinking water.
Lake County Sanitation District Governance
The Board, acting as the LACOSAN board, confirmed how the sewer district is run and then set its interim governing board makeup — and picked a new second member on a 3-2 split. This affects who oversees sewer services and rates countywide.
LACOSAN Governance Restructuring
Two related items would reshape who sits on the sanitation district's governing board — the Kelseyville water district picking its representative, and a resolution of intent on an interim board composition.
Sewer Rate Studies for LACOSAN Systems
Consultants presented rate studies for the Lands End/South Lakeport and Southeast Regional sewer systems. No increase was adopted yet — the board wants to revisit Southeast Regional in six months, post-emergency, so rate changes for those customers remain ahead.
