Tuolumne County elected officials support acquiring PG&E water rights and infrastructure, but questions remain
The Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors and Sonora City Council generally liked what they heard Tuesday from Tuolumne Utilities District staff in a special, non-action joint meeting Tuesday about TUD’s plan to acquire Pacific Gas and Electric Co.-owned water rights and infrastructure. A county supervisor emphasized there may be urgent incentive for TUD to close the deal because other water agencies from the Central Valley expressed keen interest in PG&E’s assets in Tuolumne County back in June 2019.
