T.U.D. Moves Towards Eminent Domain
“T.U.D. took a step towards acquiring PG&E land in hopes of eventually constructing a water storage reservoir northeast of the district’s Sugar Pine property.
This year’s drought has heightened community interest regarding new water storage projects. The proposed reservoir would eventually store anywhere from 300 – 350 acre ft. of water. Several details would still need to be worked out down the road, including cost estimates, and where the funding would come for construction.
“This year, it feels really good, because it’s a supply project,” said District GM, Tom Scesa. “And another year, it would feel equally good, as an emergency storage project.””
