The drama between two Kings County water entities continued earlier this month as the manager of one threw shade on the recharge policies of the other. Kings County Water District’s boundaries are intertwined with the Mid-Kings River Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) but isn’t a member of the GSA after an ugly break up last year when the water district pulled out of a joint operating agreement, leaving Kings County and the City of Hanford to pick up the pieces for a large chunk of the subbasin. At the water district’s June 5 meeting, its General Manager Dennis Mills questioned and criticized recharge policies recently enacted by the re-formed Mid-Kings GSA board. Adding to the complexity of the situation, two Kings County Water District’s board members also sit on the Mid-Kings GSA advisory group that vetted the very policies Mills was concerned with.
