Cal Am lawsuit targets public buyout process, alleging violations by water district
The latest hurdle in the effort to bring the Monterey Peninsula’s water system under public control is a lawsuit by the utility that currently owns it, California American Water… Cal Am accused the government agency charged with acquiring the system of violating the law by failing to fully analyze how a public takeover would impact the environment. The Monterey Peninsula Water Management District certified its environmental analysis on Oct. 29, finding no significant impacts.
