After years of discussions, Mendocino supes reject ordinance to regulate water extraction, selling

The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors last week said insufficient resources were the reason to reject a proposed ordinance that sought to regulate water extraction and commercial sales by water haulers and private companies in the county. 

The issue has long been disputed among local homeowners, cannabis growers and local environmental organizations and led to an ordinance first sponsored by Supervisors John Haschak and Glenn McGourty in March 2022 and created by an ad hoc group of county residents – about eight to 10 people.
