Northstar may take over Martis Valley water service
By Rocklin and Roseville Today
OLYMPIC VALLEY — Water utility service in Martis Valley near Truckee would be transferred to the Northstar Community Services District under a plan discussed last week by the Placer County Water Agency Board of Directors.
The proposed transfer was reviewed as part of the PCWA board’s annual eastern Placer County meeting, which was held at the Squaw Valley Public Service District office. PCWA is a countywide water resource agency that is headquartered and normally meets in Auburn.
PCWA operates groundwater wells to serve about 1,000 water customers in the Lahontan, Martis Camp and Schaffer’s Mill communities in Martis Valley. The area is known as Zone 4 and is one of five service zones operated by PCWA. The other four are in western Placer County.
