The groundwater sustainability agency faces an aggressive timeline to submit both a periodic evaluation and amended sustainability plan by January 2027, requiring key decisions almost monthly through 2026. Major revisions are planned for groundwater level monitoring and thresholds, with staff noting current thresholds are "too low" and may not adequately protect groundwater resources. Despite budget constraints, the domestic well monitoring program is moving forward with strong community participation, though limited to 8 wells initially due to funding limitations.
