Replacement
of Large Meters
Water meters gradually wear out and become
less accurate over time. Montecito Water schedules the
replacement of its meters every 18 years as part of a regular
system maintenance plan.
The District recently replaced all large
meters with a new brand of meter that lasts up to 30 years,
records water flow more accurately, and costs less to maintain
than the old model meter. The remaining meters will be replaced
over time.

Fish Plan Approval
The
National Marine Fisheries Service recently published its
"no jeopardy" biological opinion addressing the impact
of the Santa Ynez River Fish Management Plan on endangered
steelhead trout.
Based on enhancements
from the Santa Ynez River Fish Management Plan, the project
"will provide the small Santa Ynez River steelhead
population with improved critical habitat conditions in the form
of increased migration opportunity and better access to spawning
and rearing areas in the watershed below Bradbury Dam, allowing
the population to increase in size."
