Water Management Authority Reaffirmed: The board unanimously approved reaffirming the engineer-manager's existing authority to initiate and cease recharge operations at his discretion to preserve the district's water supply. This includes pursuing water management activities such as exchange programs, with flexibility to respond quickly to changing conditions without requiring additional board meetings for each decision.
2023 Carryover Water Spill Results in Loss: The district lost approximately 3,400 acre-feet of stored water due to spill events that occurred in 2023, though the actual amount may be lower pending clarification with the water agency. The spill was caused when carryover supplies weren't evacuated from San Luis Reservoir before Article 21 water became available, with the total member unit losses reaching about 18,000 acre-feet.
