Dim outlook for state water projects stirs cautious hope
Water Director Harvey Banks warned the statewide water plan faces delays as the legislature failed to appropriate funds for the Feather River project and related programs. He spoke at the dedication of the 52 million dollar Tri-Dam Project on the Stanislaus river, noting not all bills secured funding and delays could push back completion by at least a year. Banks cited $1.34 million for North Bay Aqueduct design and ongoing work on the South Bay Aqueduct amid three million dollars in holdover funds, urging patience as diverging viewpoints are reconciled.
