Don’t divert the Mokelumne River water to Stockton

Posted by: Maven on June 29, 2009 at 4:23 pm

From the Lodi Sentinel:

Why did our local water district, the North San Joaquin Water Conservation District petition the State Water Resources Control Board to divert our Mokelumne River water to the city of Stockton?

The NSJWCD has the responsibility to manage our Mokelumne River water for the benefit of the people in Lodi and surrounding farms.

In 2007, the NSJWCD told the people that they had to enact a groundwater (TAX) fee to deliver water to the people and recharge the groundwater in our area. We the people of the NSJWCD are being forced to pay a groundwater (TAX) fee to “Save Our Groundwater.” Now the NSJWCD is taking our tax dollars and asking the State Water Board if they can “Divert Water to Stockton!”
