After more than five years, a stakeholders’ group of Stanislaus and Tuolumne river interests has reached agreement on a list of projects for which they will seek an estimated $3.6 million in funding through the state Department of Water Resources.
“By working together we are now eligible for Proposition 84 and Proposition 1E State Bond funds,” said TUD General Manager Pete Kampa. “That helps us keep the costs off our customers as well as build support for good projects from a pretty diverse group of interests.”
“I am encouraged by the progress made here and I anticipate funding in the future to help in Tuolumne and Calaveras counties and provide benefits to the customers we serve,” added CCWD General Manager Mitch Dion.
