The proposed fee for the Tuscan Water District has passed with overwhelming support, securing more than 87% of the vote. Property owners in the district gathered today to submit their votes and voice concerns about the fees, which are based on the acreage of their land. Despite the strong approval, the meeting left many attendees feeling more confused and frustrated by the process. The vote, which included a breakdown of over 34 million yes votes versus 4.8 million no votes, was a crucial step for the TWD, which was established in 2023. The fees, according to the district, are mandated by the state to support groundwater conservation, storage, and use in the Vina Subbasin. However, some property owners are expressing concerns about the fairness and transparency of the proposal.
