What kind of country are we becoming where officials can threaten to deny water supply to whole communities if local water districts don't pay for a tunnel that no one wants anyway? This is despicable and unconscionable. The tunnel constitutes infrastructure and the last time I checked, it's up to the government to pay for infrastructure. Not through threats and bullying but with taxes of which we pay plenty.

Thanks for digging in and getting the numbers on how much water the non-participating agencies stand to lose. I still have one big question about this proposal - what happens if there is a catastrophic failure in the current Clifton Court Forebay infrastructure and all Table A allocations need to be delivered through the Delta Conveyance? Do the non-participating agencies lose out completely? Perhaps you can consider this and give me an answer. <br />Charlotte Allen, co-chair, Sierra Club California Water CommitteeCharlotte Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365484419767065533noreply@blogger.com
