1. Groundwater Allocation Now Active with 28,000 Acre-Feet Annual Limit Pleasant Valley Water District's allocation policy officially began January 1, 2026, with a total of 28,000 acre-feet available annually—reduced from the originally planned 31,000 acre-feet due to rising minimum thresholds and significant subsidence concerns. The allocation divides into 15,000 acre-feet of sustainable yield (distributed 90% to irrigated lands, 10% to non-irrigated) and 13,000 acre-feet of transitional yield (100% to groundwater users), with 1,500 acre-feet held in contingency reserve.
