The transfer of county water service in the Landers area to the Bighorn Desert View Water Agency is now a done deal. Reporter Mike Lipsitz says the last hoop has been jumped through…
Yesterday in San Bernardino, the Local Agency Formation Commission convened a hearing which marked the close of the public comment period and final determination on the takeover of all water service in Landers by Bighorn-Desert View Water Agency. And with protest votes determined to be fewer than one percent of the affected ratepayers eligible to vote on the matter, LAFCO certified the plan. It was the very final step necessary before midnight on June 30 when Bighorn-Desert View will open the valves allowing clean, economical, transparent water to flow from the taps for everyone in this rural community.
