A clearer path forward could be emerging in the tiny Tulare County community of East Orosi, which has long struggled with contaminated drinking water, a decrepit sewer system and dysfunction among elected leaders. The state Water Resources Control Board will be in town Thursday, April 17 to explain why it proposes that the community’s sewer system be run by a new administrator, the Tulare County Resource Management Agency (RMA). … The proposed sewer administration change is a result of Assembly Bill 805, authored by Dr. Joaquin Arambula (D-Fresno) and signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September in the backyard of an East Orosi resident. The bill authorizes the state Water Board to intervene when a sewer service provider does not meet regulatory standards or fails to maintain the technical, managerial and financial capacity needed to prevent waste, fraud and abuse. The Water Board can then contract with a new administrator.
