YCWA and Cordua lawsuits resolved, paving way for a future of collaboration and partnership

Yuba County Water Agency and Cordua Irrigation District are beginning a new chapter in the story of their relationship, having moved to one of collaboration and partnership, with the finalization of a recent settlement agreement. Both entities today exchanged settlement checks, resolving several long-standing disagreements, including two lawsuits.

“Just as important as resolving old disputes, this settlement agreement provides a foundation for future cooperation and collaboration between YCWA and Cordua,” said YCWA Chairman Brent Hastey.

The State Water Resources Control Board exceeded its jurisdictional authority under Water Code section 1052 when it issued curtailment notices to pre-1914 and riparian water rights holders, a Santa Clara County Superior Court judge decided Wednesday. The decision addresses a number of consolidated legal challenges to Board actions taken within Central California watersheds during the State’s recent and lengthy drought.

The court also concluded that the curtailment notices at issue violated the petitioners’ due process rights because they were issued “without first providing water users with an opportunity to challenge the findings upon which they were based.”

Opinion: Assembly Member Frank Bigelow

Four years ago, California voters directed the government to update our state water system by passing Proposition 1, a $7 billion water bond that included clear guidelines for investing $2.7 billion in new reservoirs.

Voters expected billions of gallons of water to be added to our surface storage system. Sadly, with a dry start towinter and another drought looming, the state hasn’t spent a dime on the new storage it promised.
