Mendocino County is working to re-establish the Mendocino County Water Agency (MCWA) as a standalone special district to ensure there are dedicated staff handling the area’s water resources as water insecurity and drought loom in the future.
The California Department of Water Resources announced last Wednesday that the city of Ukiah and Mendocino County would receive $264,600 and $2 million, respectively, for projects intended to help get water to neighboring communities.
The region seems headed for a drought comparable to 2010’s. We talked to a regional water manager to get some details.
The Ukiah Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency continues to move forward with a plan to manage groundwater use to avoid chronic lowering in the Ukiah Valley Basin.
As required by state regulations, the County is putting together a twenty year plan to manage groundwater in the Ukiah Valley.
