1. SGMA Costs Dropping Significantly for Next Fiscal Year The South American Subbasin (SASb) implementation budget is falling from $657,050 in FY 2025-26 to $195,000 in FY 2026-27, meaning OHWD's share drops from ~$85,400 to ~$26,300. The large expense this past year was driven by major SGMA work (including the annual report and periodic evaluation/review work); managers said they are not doing a full "update" now, which helps keep next year's costs lower. OHWD's cost-share percentage rose slightly from 13.0% to 13.5% due to Sloughhouse RCD's withdrawal from the subbasin.
