Everyone Countywide Pays Calaveras County Water District?

   Most property owners are not aware of it, but 1% of your property taxes goes to Calaveras County Water District coffers. This is whether or not they service your property with water or sewer. When CCWD was first set up, this was part of the contract, and you don't hear CCWD talking about it.
  This is the reason why they have to let all property owners vote for their directors, even if they have nothing to do with that water district. We have received complaints and questions about this issue and it took some willing voter to pass on the information we needed. So even if you get absolutely nothing from CCWD, pay attention to what their directors do, because your vote matters.

CCWD Board members (Dennis Cooley for example) claim to not have the power to over-rule unfair billing practices of "staff". I would love any info on attorneys who have been involved in legal actions defending, or suing CCWD. I also would like to know of any attorneys specializing in laws of utility easements etc. Please send info to: doberdawg@comcast.net thanxxxxx.jc
