Water District Squabbles Threaten California Water Aid
State Controller Robert C. Kirkwood warned the San Francisco Bond Club that “family squabbles” between water districts threaten to dry up California’s water supplies. He said continued bickering could cost $100 million in federal aid for the Oroville dam and urged rapid construction and approval of $5,160,000 for dam sites and related Feather River project work. He argued that only by building new impounding facilities can unused water be captured instead of flowing to the ocean.
