Board notes Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District interest in Potter Valley project areas

Board members told colleagues that Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District has expressed interest in acquiring areas of the Potter Valley Project, a point the board said it wanted reflected in a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. A supervisor said documenting local agency interest was a reason to place comments on the FERC record.

The chair and supervisors discussed the board’s broader stance that they do not want Scott Dam or the Potter Valley Project decommissioned and want PG&E to be forthcoming with information so viable alternatives can be reviewed. No public commenters spoke on the matter, and the board voted 5‑0 to authorize the chair to sign and file the letter with FERC.
