El Dorado County Water Agency Announces Dissolution of El Dorado Water & Power Authority
PLACERVILLE – The El Dorado County Water Agency (EDCWA) announced today that the El Dorado Water and Power Authority (EDWPA) is dissolving in order to more effectively manage all project efforts going forward. All functions of EDWPA will be assumed by EDCWA, with no interruption to ongoing or future efforts.
EDWPA was established in 2004 as a joint powers authority between the El Dorado County Water Agency, El Dorado County and El Dorado Irrigation District, as the key stakeholders negotiating with SMUD as part of its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) relicensing process. The intent of the JPA was to provide one unified voice for all of the parties being represented. The Board of Directors for the JPA consisted of representatives from each of the three agencies.
