Amador County – The Amador Water Agency Board of Directors heard earlier this month that it was closing in on more than half a million dollars worth of state Proposition 84 grants. AWA Interim General Manager Gene Mancebo reported to the board at its November 12th meeting that a Sierra Nevada Conservancy’s Proposition 84 grant” for a “Regional Approach for Water Reuse” in the amount of $270,000 “is ready for the funding agreement to be executed.” The report also said that a “Department of Water Resources Prop 84 grant for Lake Camanche Groundwater Management and Sustainability in the amount of $247,500 is moving forward and should be ready for the funding agreement to be executed in the next 2 weeks.” The Administration Department report said that the AWA had “partially recovered from the storm and then the power lag with no data loss,” but “rebuilding the engineering servers will take some time as (they) decide how to move forward with the primary servers that were affected.” Mancebo said servers and laptops with expired warranties could contribute to catastrophic failures, and the agency has “several desktops that are at end of life and will need to be replaced within the next year.” Engineering Manager Erik Christeson said the storm outages did not affect a computer aided drawing server, and maps and data. But he said it “may push into January before we have an audit report” on all related damages.
