Board Supports Stockton Lake Reallocation Study

The Board of Public Utilities approved supporting a request for reallocation of water storage from Stockton Lake. The Board’s action is in support of a study requested by SWMO Water, formerly Tri-States Water Coalition, to provide an adequate water supply to the growing region. Any future action will be dependent on the Army Corps of Engineers making additional storage available.
