Concerned that there may not be an adequate source of supply, county supervisors Monday postpone action for at least a month on a proposal to start design of a new water system for Pioneertown, near Yucca Valley.
A special district officials said the new system, which additionally would serve about 100 homes and businesses would replace a private one that is undersized and deteriorated and that has about 40 connections. A number of residents now reportedly must have water hauled to their homes.
Attempting to ensure a supply for the proposed Pioneertown community water system, county supervisors have awarded a $43,805 contract to Howard Pump, Inc., of Barstow for drilling and test pumping of a well.
The longest golf course in the world is opened each year for the annual Pioneer Pass Gold Challenge. The 27-mile course begins at Baldwin Lake and ends at Blue Skies Country Club in Yucca Valley.
County supervisors, siding with a group of Pioneertown residents, have decided that a sparsely settled desert area near that community is an inappropriate place for a recreation vehicle park.
The county Board of Supervisors has levied fees of $125 an acre on Pioneertown property owners to pay off an $80,000 loan the board granted in June for emergency work on the desert community’s water system.
