Six hundred miles is a long way to go for water. That’s how far the Scott and Cape Horn dams are from the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District. It’s not far enough to deter Elsinore Valley’s interest in buying the dams located in a rural stretch of Northern California.The dams’ fate is the subject of an intensifying showdown involving conservationists, Native Americans, farmers and most recently, the Trump administration. … In an April 21 post on X, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins described the district as a “legitimate buyer” for the dams, which are part of the Potter Valley Project that sends water to the Russian River flowing through Mendocino and Sonoma counties.
