Water Agency Optimistic on Shared Costs for State Project
Kern County Water Agency president Jack Thomson said broad local participation can yield a fair method for allocating costs of one million acre feet from the Feather River project. He noted the county will fund about one quarter of the Oroville Dam obligation while irrigation reaches roughly 280,000 acres with $78 million gross farm income and 50 000 residents served. Thomson emphasized county board approval for benefit zones and highlighted new board members Rueben Kliewer and Wayne Martin joining the Water Association education board alongside incumbents.
