City of Dorris to receive $3.7M grant to upgrade its water system
As part of a statewide program to help cities hit by the drought, the city of Dorris in northern Siskiyou County is set to receive a $3.7 million grant from the California Department of Water Resouces. The state agency said “Dorris has been impacted by dwindling groundwater supplies because of the drought.” The grant was one of 11 awarded throughout the state. The state said Dorris will use the money to deepen an existing well and replace leaky pipes.
