On Friday, February 24, 2017, the Mountain Counties Water Resources Association (MCWRA) held a regional water symposium to a full house of its members at The Ridge Golf Course and Event Center in Auburn.
United States House of Representatives, Congressman Doug LaMalfa and Congressman Tom McClintock were joined by California Senators Tom Berryhill, Ted Gaines, Jim Nielsen, and California Assembly Member Kevin Kiley. The federal and state representatives provided their views and perspectives on the regional and northern California water management challenges and opportunities under the new Trump Administration.
In the afternoon, top regional water officials discussed opportunities to assist our state and federal representatives in enhancing Mountain County water resources throughout the foreseeable future.
