No use of water has been made under these permits. Tahoe Paradise
Water and Gas Company was purchased from Myers Water Company in 1966. Two
drilled wells presently provide the additional water requirements of the Company.
Use from an unnamed creek (40 AF in 1970) is also used (A 18021).
Petitions have been submitted May 6, 1970, requesting change in point"
of diversion to a proposed pumping plant at Lake Tahoe and change in place of
use to consolidate water systems presently served by wells within. Upper Truckee
River watershed to Tahoe Keys. The entire area is growing rapidly with greater
demand for water. Permittee realizes the problem of surface diversion from
Upper Truckee River with low summer flows, requirements by Department of Fish
and Game and use of water by riparian users.
Permittee has considered drilling another well but anticipates a more
feasible. method to be diversion from the Lake.
Hearings are anticipated during 1971 on the Companies' filings from
Upper ,Truckee Watershed. The total amount under permit is 14.33 cfs and 504 AFA
storage.
A 23562 is a pending application for 14.33 cfs from Lake Tahoe for
diversion from the same point of diversion as shown in petition for request for
change in point of diversion under the Upper Truckee River permits.
The pending application envisions consolidation of the entire place of
use of Tahoe Paradise Water and Gas as well as Angora and Tahoe Keys Water
,Service areas which.arepres.ently..s.erved by drilled wells.
A substantial increase in service area is involved. Permittees esti-
mate of the number of parcels to be served within each area is:
Angora 4,092
Tahoe Paradise 5,132
Tahoe: Keys 2,500
11,724 parcels
11,724 x 0.3 AF/year = 3,517 acre-feet per year requirement.
•
Permittee indicated that the U. S. Eldorado National Forest wants service
of water for the Pope Beach, Camp Richardson to. Spring Creek Tract. This will
require -24,000- feet of 12" pipeline.
In addition, permittee stated that a request for service of a 150 site
campground near Upper Truckee River and Highway 50 has also been made.
Decision 1152 on A 19629 resulted in a change in place of use (total
area about 5,000 acres) identical with A 18021, 18030, 18031,"18038 and 18039
with a. limitation of. 143 acre-feet per month under A-19629. The total limitation
under allof the subject Upper Truckee River permits is 345 acre-feet per month'
and 2,760 acre-feet per year..

Present Water Use
Water use under rerrdt is limited to use under Application 18021
(Permit 13526). Total 1970 use was 124.1 acre-feet from this gravity source.
Maximum monthly use was in May which was 12.95 acre-feet which is eauivalent
to a continuous flow of 0.21 cfs.
This permit can be licensed; however, the matter of consolidation of
the place of use must be resolved. The system comingles with the present well
supplies. _A petition has been submitted requesting an identical expanded place
of use under all six filings.
1969 Use from all Sources within Permitted Place of Use
The 1969 Report on Use of Water is based on metered values from the
two wells and the gravity source as follows:
Well No. I
Well No. 2
Permit 13526
109.9 afa
7.0 afa
72.2 afa
189.1 afa total
Existing Zoning in Permitted Place of Use
Zoning maps which cover the entire permitted place of use were plani-
metered. A tabulation was made showing the number of .acres within each zone,
the acre-feet per acre allowance and the conversion to acre-feet requirements.
The unit value for requirements per dwelling unit (0.3 AFA per D.U.) is based
on the 1969 Report on Use of Water in Lake Tahoe Basin, California.
The tabulation is broken down into two parts as follows: (1) Permitted
place of use presently served and (2) Permitted place of use for proposed service.
A summary of the attached tabulation indicates
Acres • AFA ReQuirement
Area. (1) Now'Served . 2671.5 • 089
Area (2) Proposed Service 2753.4 . 1262
5424.9 .7351
A separate tabulation was made covering the entire service areas of
three other water companies which plan to consolidate with Tahoe Paradise as
filed by Gardner Mountain Water Company under pending Application 23502. The
water companies are presently served by wells. Petitions and maps have been
received to include these areas within the place of use.
Additional areas covered by petition are:
