Briefly

from www.mercurynews.com2 weeks ago
After the collapse of a $1.5 billion plan to expand Los Vaqueros Reservoir, California officials are left with nearly half a billion in state funding. The California Water Commission is considering reallocating $453 million to six other major water storage projects across the state. New projects include Pacheco Reservoir and the ambitious Sites Reservoir. These initiatives aim to improve water storage and distribution amid challenges faced during the pandemic and rising costs. The commission’s final decision on the fund allocation is expected next month.
A majority of California Water Commission members are leaning toward redistributing nearly half a billion dollars from the Los Vaqueros project to six other water storage projects.
