Developers of the Sites Reservoir project are proposing an off-stream reservoir to enhance California’s water storage capacity. Representatives from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the Sites Project Authority met at the Tehama Colusa Canal Authority building to continue public negotiations for a partnership. The proposed reservoir aims to stabilize water deliveries for agriculture, cities and environmental purposes. The Sites Project Authority, which will own the reservoir, is in formal negotiations with the Bureau of Reclamation to define its participation.
