Court upholds ACWD water replenishment rights
Alameda County Water District may refill underground supplies without paying damages to quarry operators. The State Court of Appeals upheld a 1972 ruling dismissing about 6.5 million dollars in claims by Niles Sand and Gravel and Rhodes and Jamieson. The decision preserves district power to restore natural water levels and halt pumping that would send water to San Francisco Bay. An appeal process through higher courts could follow if pursued.
