Redwood Valley Water Board Rejects College Contract
Redwood Valley district directors rejected a three way deal with Mendocino College to guarantee Laughlin Way site water by 1978. If the college seeks future site water, it will be treated like any other customer. The college may drop Laughlin Way and propose Yokayo Ranch for a future campus. Next meeting is Aug 18 at 7 p.m. at the Ukiah Fairgrounds interim campus. Plans for a regional water system are under development and will affect the college if it remains interested.
