Board clarifies that new handbook targets public water systems, not private systems like Tahoe Park
Summary
Board members asked whether the State Water Board handbook applies to a private system referenced as Tahoe Park; staff clarified the rules target public water systems with a public water system ID and private systems have different templates and obligations.
During Q&A a board member asked whether the regulation applies to "Tahoe Park, the private water system." Chris Vickers replied that the handbook and plan process apply to public water systems that hold a public water system ID and that private systems are not governed the same way; he said templates are available for private systems and they are expected to perform at least customer surveys.
The exchange underscored that the district's obligation stems from its status as a public water system; staff emphasized coordination and outreach to other local entities as part of the plan. The transcript records that private systems can use provided templates but that the district's regulatory obligations are distinct.
