Fresno officials “irritated” by gravity in wastewater saga, according to ag district
The city of Fresno hadn’t bothered recently with a mound of groundwater that accumulates beneath its southwest wastewater treatment plant every year. For decades, it traded a chunk of the water to the Fresno Irrigation District (FID) for about half the amount back in Kings River water, but had let that deal lapse the past two years. Then the state’s groundwater law cast that percolated sewer water in a much more attractive light. So attractive, the city and FID are now concerned that another ag district is getting a little too handsy with it.
