Because of the extraordinary expense of surface water, the city’s decision on its future water system will have a great impact on our community for decades to come. Recently, the Water Advisory Committee voted to recommend that the city proceed with the Woodland-Davis project, provided that Woodland pay for 60 percent of the project and […]
