1. Groundwater levels are ahead of the planned path toward 2027 milestones. Amir Mani of EKI Environment & Water reported that nearly all monitored West Turlock groundwater levels are above minimum thresholds. East Turlock levels are above the plan’s 2027 interim milestones, although some remain below minimum thresholds. He attributed progress to member-agency actions, increased surface-water use and favorable recent climate conditions.
2. The draft periodic evaluation and revised Groundwater Sustainability Plan are open for comment through November 20, 2026. The documents address six recommended corrective actions from the Department of Water Resources (DWR) and describe further work on interconnected surface water. They are available on the Turlock Subbasin website. The board received a presentation but took no action on the drafts.
