The San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency (SGPWA) received state funding of more than $2 million for a project to install four nested casing monitoring wells in the San Gorgonio Pass Subbasin. The project will expand the SGPS GSA groundwater observation network to fill data holes that are key to supporting sustainability of the subbasin, which encompasses approximately 35,965 acres. … The San Gorgonio Pass Subbasin serves disadvantaged communities, including the City of Banning, Banning Heights, Cabazon and the Morongo Band of Mission Indians.
