Water shortfalls threaten county tax revenue and jobs
Schulz warned that poor water supply cuts land values to 60 dollars per acre or less, versus 120 with water. Without water, valuations fall to 10 to 15 percent, risking at least 100 million dollars in annual county tax revenue and big cuts in services or higher taxes. Groundwater re mining from Feather River could halve local income and cut county revenue further.
