Potter Valley Project Funding and Future Costs: The district discussed significant upcoming financial obligations related to the Inland Water and Power Commission (IWPC) and Eel Russian Project Authority (ERPA). Projected operating budgets are substantial, with annual costs potentially reaching $200,000+ and a general manager position at $250,000. These costs will eventually be distributed among participating agencies including Redwood Valley, with projections spanning 2026-2030 for anticipated future operations.
New Emergency Well Completion Nearing: The Small Community Drought Relief Program well project on Milview's property is in final stages, with piping installation underway and an extension granted through February 27. This roughly 350 gallon-per-minute well will serve as important backup infrastructure for Redwood Valley, which currently relies heavily on water purchased from Milview through an undersized intertie that has limited supply during peak demand periods.
