County Officials Mediate Water Dispute In Alameda County
County Surveyor Wallace Boggs and Deputy District Attorney Douglas Dunning mediated a long running clash between Conway and Culligan and Alameda County Water District over water supply for a 1200 home tract north of Irvington. Supervisors directed experts to pursue compromise talks with both sides present, as contractors oppose district conditions.

Boggs warned that non compliant work would stop the project under district specs. The matter continues with the supervisors to review further.
