Landmark ACWD ruling ends quarry suits in water rights case
Judge Cook dismissed inverse condemnation suits by Tyres Siatdirae and Rhodes and Jamieson against the Alameda County Water District. The ruling halts pumping from quarry pits without district permission and orders a jury trial to determine damages, with District estimates noting over $800,000 in water waste from May 1968 to June 1970. Both firms plan appeals as district General Manager Matt Whitfield hails the decision as a historic upholding of public groundwater rights.
