Northern California’s Siskiyou County took another hit Tuesday when a federal judge denied its summary judgment motion in a case over residents’ claims they’re not getting the water they need. The putative class — many of whom are Asian American and live in a part of the rural county called Shasta Vista — sued in 2022. … They also claim officials have used water ordinances to deprive them in an area with no public water system. County officials have said the local ordinances that prevent the transfer of water to the Shasta Vista residents are needed to combat illegal cannabis grows. But the plaintiffs contend they’re used against a minority population that needs water.
