Slough House has withdrawn from its groundwater sustainability agreement, citing an inability to cover a fee increase from ~$8,000–$10,000 to $27,000 triggered by the Sacramento Central Groundwater Authority (SCGA) five-year update costs. Sacramento County is expected to assume default GSA authority over the vacated area, and SCGA will likely absorb the costs short-term. The MOU between OHWD, SCGA, North Delta, and Sacramento County will be rewritten with stronger exit provisions — including buy-out requirements — to prevent future cost shifts onto remaining members.
