Three Board Seats Are Available — We Need Your Help!
For the first time, the Copper Valley Community Services District (CVCSD) has three Board of Directors seats available, and at this time, no candidates have come forward.
The filing period for the November election has now closed with Calaveras County. Because there are no candidates, these positions will not be filled through the November election. Instead, qualified community members will have the opportunity to be appointed by the current CVCSD Board of Directors.
The individuals appointed will begin serving on the Board in December 2026.

Mosquito Fogging Begins Tonight
5/7/26
We want to let you know that our first mosquito fogging treatment of the season will begin tonight in an effort to help reduce mosquito activity throughout the community.
Fogging is scheduled to start this evening and will take place during nighttime hours, when mosquitoes are most active and conditions are most effective for treatment. Our goal is to help improve comfort and reduce mosquito-related concerns for residents.
As a precaution, we recommend that residents:
- Remain indoors while fogging is taking place nearby
- Close windows and doors during treatment hours
- Bring pets, food items, and outdoor toys indoors if possible
Weather conditions may affect scheduling, and additional treatments may be planned as needed throughout the season.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to maintain a more comfortable environment for everyone.

Mosquito Abatement Activity
3/30/2026
This notice is to inform you that mosquito abatement activities will soon be conducted in your neighborhood as part of an ongoing effort to protect public health and reduce mosquito populations.
Spraying is scheduled to begin shortly and will take place during the evening hours, when mosquito activity is highest and conditions are most effective for treatment.
The products used are approved for public health use and will be applied by trained professionals in accordance with all safety guidelines. While the spraying poses minimal risk to people and pets, residents may choose to take simple precautions such as:
- Staying indoors during application times
- Closing windows and doors
- Bringing pets and outdoor items inside temporarily
Mosquito control is essential in reducing the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses and improving overall community comfort.

Upcoming Irrigation Wire Repair – March 3, 2026
Dear Community Members,
Last year, we experienced a failure in several direct burial wires servicing a section of our landscape irrigation valves. To resolve this issue, we will be completing repairs on Tuesday, March 3.
We will be renting a walk-behind trencher to install approximately 200+ feet of new wire. The work will take place on Oak Creek Drive, between the #17 green and the Knolls pond in Park Parcel P-1. All trenching will be confined to our designated landscape areas.
Thank you for your understanding as we complete this important maintenance to ensure reliable irrigation service.

FINAL REMINDER/ CLOSURE OF THE ENTRANCE GATE ON JANUARY 14TH, 2026
Dear Copper Valley Residents,
This email serves as a final reminder and follow-up regarding the upcoming closure of the entrance gate on January 14th and the required update to our gate access system.
As previously communicated, Copper Valley Community Services District is upgrading our gate access system to improve security and privacy. As part of this update, older two-button gate clickers will no longer be supported once the entrance gate is closed on January 14th.
Important Reminder:
- Newer three-button clickers will continue to function normally.
- Older two-button clickers (LiftMaster style) will be deactivated and will no longer open the gate after January 14th.
To ensure uninterrupted access, residents currently using a two-button clicker must select one of the following options:
- Receive a replacement RFID sticker, or
- Purchase a new three-button clicker for $50
To request either option, please complete the Gate Access Request Form and return it to the district as soon as possible. Forms may be:
- Dropped off at the gatehouse, or
- Emailed to mcgeorgecvcsd@caltel.com
Residents who do not turn in their old two-button clickers or submit a request form before January 14th may experience loss of gate access.
If you have questions or need assistance, please contact:
- Email: mcgeorgecvcsd@caltel.com
- Phone: Ralph McGeorge at (209) 768-5537

Subject: Important Update Regarding Gate Access-
THIS HAS BEEN UPDATED 12/30/25
Dear Copper Valley Residents,
We would like to inform you that the Copper Valley CSD will be updating our gate access system to enhance security and privacy. As part of this update, the old two-button gate clickers (see image below) will no longer be supported.
