Sites Reservoir

Okay, so another type of essential project is essential water projects.

And an example that I'd like to give here is the Sites Reservoir in Glen and Colusa Counties.

I'm sure folks on this call are also familiar with this project.

So Sites is a decade-old state priority for drought resilience.

... uh, curtailments f- on farms who had never experienced curtailments, uh, water being taken from them.

W- we saw that in 2023, that historic snowpack and all the water coming down, in fact, where they're proposing to build Sites Reservoir over around the Maxwell-Palisades-

Yep

...

Like planning to do water.

You see stuff all the time coming out about Sites Reservoir, but none of it's actually like getting done.

We're not actually...

We could have built this thing so much faster.

So no more repairs to levees and no more, uh, infrastructure for storage.

They've had plans and the government and the voters passed it 11 years ago called the Sites Reservoir, which was going to be a huge underground storage tank, which holds a massive amount of water for years of shortage and drought.

And for one reason or another, Democrats have not chosen to fund that or go forward on that, on that issue.

Even though it was passed by voters and, uh, the money was supposed to be set aside for that, for one reason or another, Democrats will not build that project.
