A1 Tahoe Well No. 2 is on line, the
District must discontinue use of College
Well water, unless there is a mechanical
breakdown, but not to accommodate new
customers. Further, he noted the turning
on of A1 Tahoe Well water and the turning
off of College Well water would be an
even exchange, leaving no extra for
Lakeside customers. One clause in the

College Well water as the College Well
water would be needed to accommodate the
water consumption needs of Lakeside
customers in the Stateline service area.
