TUSCAN WATER DISTRICT, IN BLACK, IS A TROJAN HORSE FOR OUTSIDE INTERESTS TO SEIZE OUR GROUNDWATER.

BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

Meetings are on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, at 25 County Center Drive, Oroville.

Scroll to bottom to find out which district you live in.

Check their agenda to see if they will address a request from LAFCo to set a new TWD election date. 

Show up, sign up for public comment, and here are some suggestions on what to say: 

–If the resolution they have received from LAFCo does not include all of the information in the LAFCo comments above, they should send it back to LAFCo without scheduling an election.  

–If they claim to support Proposition 13, why they are okay with imposing a new tax on TWD-area landowners without a two-thirds majority vote?

–If you’re as weary of their shenanigans as we are, tell them you feel they are abdicating their responsibility to protect the interests of all County residents by putting their ag-interest campaign contributors in charge of groundwater planning.

You can also email your concerns to clerkoftheboard@buttecounty.net, or contact any of the Supervisors personally. Be sure to CC Supervisor Tod Kimmelshue on any correspondence as he is the key pubic figure in this.

We oppose the formation of the Tuscan Water District and demand that Butte County officials step up to their responsibilities under State law. The groundwater belongs to the public and must be managed transparently by publicly elected authorities - not privatized as a "water bank."
