October monitoring data showed positive news with no water level violations occurring across the network and generally stable conditions. The groundwater sustainability agency faced a major setback when drilling challenges forced abandonment of a replacement monitoring well, completing only two of three planned wells. The board discussed implementing a cash call of approximately $500,000 to cover projected expenses, with debate over collecting the full amount upfront versus splitting ...
The board approved a $4.02 million budget requiring each member district to contribute approximately $164,000 to cover what is not covered by grant funding, though the timing of this cash call remains undetermined.

Groundwater levels remain stable with no threshold violations, including at the previously problematic well which stays above its minimum threshold by about 18 inches.
The White Wolf GSA faces upcoming financial pressures requiring member contributions while monitoring continued land subsidence along the California Aqueduct. Groundwater levels remain stable and new monitoring wells are being installed on schedule.
