Board of Supervisors approve $500K for water security efforts
The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors recently approved setting aside $500,000 to support the Inland Water and Power Commission’s efforts to secure water supply for the region in the wake of pending Potter Valley Project decommissioning, though one supervisor suggested that most of the funds might better be spent on roads instead. “When I hear from constituents across the county, I hear they would like to see more road work done, so I would be inclined to reduce that (amount for water to) $50,000, (especially since) we don’t even know what it is for at this point,” said Fourth District Supervisor Ted Williams.
