According to State Water Resources Control Board records, about 300 gallons of raw sewage spilled from an LACSD sewer manhole near Golf Course Road in Lake Arrowhead on April 6, 2026 — classified as a Category 1 Sanitary Sewer Overflow. The post asks whether the board even knew about it.
A follow-up post in the Arrowhead Lake Association homeowners group claims the sewer spills attributed to LACSD have been known 'for a very long time,' attaching ALA meeting minutes from 1986 and threatening to publish internal LACSD emails discussing how to shift liability away from the district.
LACSD canceled its October board meeting — the final regular meeting before the Nov 3 election with three seats up for grabs. The post raises questions about finances, the recycled-water upgrade, and the recent sewage spill, and links named candidates.
A ratepayer post asks why LACSD canceled next week's board meeting — did the president or vice president give the order? — and urges votes for Naraghi, Burney and Harrison as ratepayer representatives.
With Election Day approaching, the advocacy group Residents for Measure Q is answering voters' questions about the Nov. 3 bond measure. The measure would fund Mountains Community Hospital's $72 million seismic improvement and modernization project, and the group explains why the hospital is asking voters for support.
The Alpine Mountaineer’s Q&A covers the hospital’s $72 million seismic improvement and modernization project ahead of the Nov. 3 vote, including the $25-per-$100,000 assessed value cap, the 30-year term, and that tax collections would not begin until USDA loan repayment starts, anticipated in late 2028 or 2029.
At its Oct. 13 meeting, the Running Springs Area Chamber of Commerce heard the case for Measure Q and for the Rim of the World Recreation and Park District’s Measure R, which would raise the district’s annual parcel tax from $22 to $37 with a 1-percent escalator.
Measure Q is narrowly passing in early returns, with 67% of the vote counted, according to county voting officials. The bond measure would pay for improvements at Mountains Community Health facilities.
