8. For Discussion & for Possible Action – Discussion of the scope of the District’s responsibility for water lines and the District’s ownership of water meters and appurtenances. Mesa Townhomes is an example of an HOA that has a 6” main line entering it with numerous smaller lines branching off of and dispersed throughout the HOA’s common areas. Staff suggests confirmation of a current policy that the District will service only those water lines that are located within express easements and rights-of-way which have been duly recorded with the Clark County Recorder. Staff also recommends wording changes to the District’s Standard Specifications and Operating Rules, Regulation & Rates to confirm that the District owns only the water meters and related appurtenances regardless of their locations. Possible actions may include confirming the policy and approving potential wording change(s) to District’s rules, regulations, and specifications consistent with the decisions of the Board.
