LCWD to Provide Water to
Coyote Springs GID
By Dave Maxwell
Lincoln County Water District will be the water provider for the Coyote Springs General Improvement District.
In discussions at the Water District meeting in Alamo August 18, Board members voted in favor of the agreement reached between LCWD and Coyote Springs-Lincoln County Consolidated General Improvement District (GID) for wholesale water service.
LCWD will sell water to the GID at a wholesale rate, who in turn may sell it to someone who puts in a house or business building in the Coyote Springs Planned Unit Development. “They will retail it to the metered customer,” said Doug Carriger of Coyote Springs.
There was no date of termination on the agreement, because as Dylan Frehner, legal counsel for the Water District said, “We don’t foresee there’s going to be an end to this agreement because the water need is going to be there.”
About 1,000 acre-feet is available annually from wells in the Kane Springs area and other locations of the County. Water has also been permitted from Dry Valley and Delamar Valley. However, at present there are no pipelines built to convey the water to the places it is to be used. LCWD will be responsible for servicing the pipelines and reading the meters. When the water is delivered to the GID service area, then the GID takes over responsibility.
A good rapport exists between the Water District Board and the GID Board, since both consist of the same people.
Carriger said co-owner Harvey Whittemore does have additional water on his Atlanta Farms property, which he also hopes to be able to bring down via the SNWA water pipeline, for municipal use in the Lincoln County portion of Coyote Springs.
Frehner again mentioned the understanding that LCWD and other districts do have overlapping boundaries. “It is not exclusive for you or for us to be the service provider in those areas.” For example, if someone wanted to be annexed into the Alamo Sewer and Water District, Alamo would not need to come to LCWD to ask permission.
In response to a question from Nancy Browne, board member of the Alamo Sewer and Water District, Frehner said Alamo would need to “Follow your district’s requirements for expanding your boundaries. The (LC) water district’s boundaries are not exclusive, we cannot exclude you from expanding your service, you just have to follow your own legal standards. And if that includes notifying us as a current water provider in that area, that’s fine.” If Alamo needs to expand their service to someone who wants to come in and build additional homes, “Then do it, you have the existing infrastructure there,” Frehner said. On the other hand, he said, if a developer came in and wanted to develop for 100 homes or more, just outside Alamo Sewer and Water, then the two entities would need to talk about how to handle this.
Frehner said he encouraged each of the individual entities that are out there to have its own type of ordinance for their own developments within their system. “Those are conversations that will definitely be going on in the future.”
Board members will continue discussions on the ordinance at the October LCWD meeting.
Also at the meeting, Glen Arnold gave an update on work that has been happening on the Clark County side of Coyote Springs. The first 1.4 million gallon potable water storage tank has been completed and will be painted soon. A second tank is currently under construction. He said it’s possible they could start pumping water in February, 2011. Bids are set to go out for work on the golf club house, with construction possibly ready in November.
On the Lincoln County side, Doug Carriger said they continue to work with BrightSource Energy about the solar energy generation plant they want to build in the northeast portion of the property.
In other action, the Water District hired Shannon Simpson of Pioche as the new Administrative Assistant to replace Joanne Dixon who is retiring. Shannon started August 23 as a part-time employee at about 19½ hours per week.
Board members also decided not to hold a meeting in September, but wait until October 20, which may be in Alamo.

A MESSAGE FROM
THE LINCOLN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office will be participating in a state wide DUI crackdown over the Labor Day Weekend.
This special enforcement will consist of officers working additional hours looking for DUI offenders within our County. The overtime funding for this Labor Day weekend will be funded in part by The Nevada Department of Public Safety/ Office of Traffic Safety.
Your local Sheriff’s Office is one of twenty-eight law enforcement agencies that will be participating in this DUI crackdown. The Sheriff’s Office will be working in conjunction with the Nevada Highway Patrol throughout our County this Labor Day weekend. Throughout the State of Nevada there will be multiple DUI checkpoints consisting of various Nevada law enforcement agencies looking for those people who are too impaired to drive.
Facts: Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is the most accurate and measurable gauge of alcohol impairment.
When drivers reach .08 BAC (Nevada illegal limit), their critical driving skills, like judging distance and
speed, steering, visual tracking, concentration, braking, and staying in driving lanes are severely impaired. At
a .08 BAC level, a person is 11 times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than someone who has had
nothing to drink.
The Sheriff’s Office wishes you a safe holiday and urges you not to drink and drive, even after consuming just that “one or two drinks”.

DID YOU KNOW...
The town called Hiko—an American Indian word for “white man’s town”—was established as a camp as early as 1865 and served as the first county seat of Lincoln County.
In 1866, Col. W.H. Raymond helped lay out the town and soon spent a fortune setting up a mill to process locally mined ore, building roads and buildings, and prospecting. Eventually the mining operation failed. The county seat was moved to Pioche in 1871.
