A California reservoir could disappear if PG&E gets their way
… Pacific Gas & Electric went public with its draft application to walk away from the (Potter Valley Project) in late January, citing financial losses and aging infrastructure and setting the stage for one of California’s most contentious water battles. Conservationists and tribal leaders say this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to restore the Eel River’s salmon runs, long blocked by dams. Farmers, ranchers and local officials warn that losing the project’s diversions could devastate water supplies, cripple fire protection and threaten a multimillion dollar agricultural industry. Some have even urged the Trump administration to intervene, arguing that PG&E’s plan to dismantle the project is reckless and puts entire communities at risk.
