MESSAGE FROM GENERAL MANAGER, JON COMBS
Since becoming General Manager of the SVGID this past June and after many years working for the District, I like seeing positive improvements for the Sun Valley community. Some of the Capital Improvement Projects completed and/or underway include:
- Sanitary Sewer upgrade from 8” to 15” pipe size from 4th Ave. and Pearl Dr. to Gepford Dr. and Leon Dr. This project will ensure that the District will have capacity for future development in the Sun Valley (Completed summer of 2018).
- Installation of a new 12” water main to serve the new Desert Skies Middle School scheduled to open August 2019.
- Replacement of the District’s 40 year old pump house on Lansing Dr. that will combine two zones serving the Sidehill and Juniper Terrace area. Construction completion is scheduled for spring of 2019.
- New Telemetry linking all pump houses, water tanks, water pressure zones, and sewer flows. This will allow the District staff to monitor all aspects of the water/sewer system from our main pump house. Estimated completion is scheduled for June 2019.It is important to note that all Capital Improvement Projects are paid for by the rate payers. And in addition, District Trustees act fiscally responsible when approving all Capital Improvement Projects for Sun Valley. The District and its Trustees are dedicated to the success and prosperity of the Valley, its businesses and residents. We all believe in solid growth that benefits the Valley and continues to attract new residents, businesses and services.
SEWER EVALUATION PERIOD
All residential services are currently in their winter averaging period, which means that your sewer consumption charges are based on your metered water consumption. After this period the billing system will take your average monthly consumption during this evaluation period to determine your sewer “max” that will be used to bill your sewer consumption charges for the remainder of the year. Please report any leaks, outside watering or open taps by completing a Winter Average Re-Evaluation Request.
FREE RADON KITS
The University of Nevada Cooperative Extension has provided the District with a limited number of radon kits available FREE to the public. You may get your kit, while supplies last, during regular business hours at the District office. To learn more about Radon in Nevada please visit www.RadonNV.com or call 1-888-RADON10. Kits can be picked up in the office during January and February.
DISTRICT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
The District offers assistance programs for those who qualify based on low income. These programs can waive your monthly recreation fee and/or allow the District to pay your Waste Management bill for you. Visit the District website to view income guidelines or call the office for more information.
