The Redwood Valley County Water District (RVCWD) transfer of water services to the Ukiah Valley Water Authority (UVWA) was completed on January 2, 2025 with the City of Ukiah assuming oversight. At the December 19, 2024, board meeting, General Manager Jared Walker outlined updates on billing changes, financial reporting, and recent repairs. The board also discussed the future of local water governance, including potential consolidation and the dissolution of the Upper Russian River Water Agency (URRWA), while addressing ongoing vandalism at the Lake Mendocino pumphouse. The new UVWA billing system will keep Redwood Valley’s practice of sending separate bills for domestic and irrigation water, even if the account holder is the same person. On many properties the domestic and irrigation water are paid by different parties, so the bills will continue to be separate.
